The Case Against Sugar

[Cattledog]

Taubes’s writing is both inflammatory and copiously researched. It is also well timed. In September, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, uncovered documents showing that Big Sugar paid three Harvard scientists in the 1960s to play down the connection between sugar and heart disease and instead point the finger at saturated fat. Coca-Cola and candy makers made similar headlines for their forays into nutrition science, funding studies that discounted the link between sugar and obesity.

1. Big Sugar?

I take statins for cholesterol. My doc was telling me that there is new research coming, that shows that sugar is responsible for more heart attacks than fat.
