The word is out on sugar now, and it took some years to get there. As in - probably pretty toxic stuff. I notice though that the word is not yet out on fat, which was demonised for many years, and that fear campaign ran deep with people. There’s never been any compelling evidence that saturated fat is bad for you. In fact there’s always been evidence it’s bloody good for you. But we’re not there yet in public consciousness, where very many are still terrified of eating fat. Ironically many low-fat foods are saturated with sugar, and most of the ‘healthy’ unsaturated fats they introduced as healthier fats are as bad for you as sugar.
