   In the 1960s, the sugar industry funded its own research on the effects of sugar on health.

   The results didn't look good - for them. Studies revealed a high-sugar diet may increase risks associated with heart attacks, strokes & certain cancers.

   But... rather than share emerging findings, the study was curiously halted & the industry successfully shifted blame onto fats.

   It took decades to widely link sugary diets to disease. It didn't have to. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/11/21/565766988/what-the-industry-knew-about-sugars-health-effects-but-didnt-tell-us #food #science
