Big Sugar’s Deadly Deception
After reading Dr. Mehmet Yildiz’s article on hormones causing weight gain, I came across an article from how Harvard scientists triggered a diabetes epidemic. It is worth revealing the shocking facts.
The story reads that a renegade doctor found 51-year-old documents hidden in secret medical archives in a dusty box buried in the archives of Harvard University. (Health breakthroughs2021).
A single scientific study from 1967 reveals that the real culprit behind the deadly diabetic epidemic points to sugar — not saturated fat or cholesterol.
The sugar industry knew the facts about sugar and heart disease would sink sales and cost them billions. They came up with a plan to derail scientific progress for the next five decades.
In 1965, the Sugar Research Foundation paid three Harvard Scientists $6,500 to “prove” sugar was harmless — and point the blame to saturated fat instead.
The scientists were the most respected nutrition experts in the world.
Dr. Frederick Stare was the chairman of Harvard’s Department of Nutrition.
Dr. Mark Hegsted was a scientific advisor for the USDA.
Dr. Robert Gandy was a pioneer in dietary research.
Big Sugar ordered the Harvard scientists to “refute our detractors.”Using dishonest methods, the scientists dismissed the long-term studies proving sugar causes deadly arterial plaques, even though these human trials are the gold standard of scientific proof.
Another study showed heart disease skyrocketed on a high-carb diet; the Harvard experts claimed, “Such diets are rarely consumed.”
These scientists committed the crime of the century;
In 1967, the New England Journal of Medicine published the trumped-up study created by these scientists.
The Harvard Scientists’ expert status gave their study instant credibility.
“This study delayed scientific consensus on sugar and heart disease for decades” — (Dr. Stanton Glantz, University of California).
Their dishonesty & greed disrupted scientific research for 50 years. The results were devastating as well-meaning doctors advised their patients to adopt low-fat, high-carb diets — diets that are to blame for America’s obesity crises.
The USDA urged Americans to trade butter for trans-fat-laden margarine, an artery-clogging poison.
“Healthy” low-fat foods loaded with hidden sugars were popular.
US sugar consumption tripled — as well as Big Sugar profits.
Research shows over the last four decades; type 2 diabetes has increased significantly.
In 1980, only 1 in 50 Americans had a blood sugar problem. Today 1 out of 3 persons have blood sugar issues.
High blood sugar kills about 3.2 million people every year — shocking!
Since the Harvard sugar study, the estimation is that 158 million deaths occurred in the US. It is more than the population of the United Kingdom, France, and Australia combined!
