Some of the falsehoods propagated over three decades by science and the government…
Sugar is the Villain
High cholesterol food has NOTHING to do with high cholesterol in the body. Fat is NOT bad – indeed, it’s difficult to gain weight on a fatty diet and there is NO relationship between fat and body fat or heart disease or cancer. Increasingly, the obesity problem is focusing on sugar as the principal.
