    Important to note

    In the 1960s, the sugar industry funded research that downplayed the risks of sugar and highlighted the hazards of fat, according to a newly published article in JAMA Internal Medicine.

    Fat still isn’t good for you. It’s just that sugar is bad for you also.

      Fat is an essential macronutrient. It’s just that we consume way too much.

      Just stay clear of transfat and saturated fat as much as possible, and you will be healthier.

      There is active and vigorous debate about fat.

      Fats from natural foods appear to be unquestionably good for you.

      The consensus around sugar is slowly slowly painfully slowly agreeing that sugar is not good for you.

      It’s going to take us a century to undo the harm of the 1960s
