"The sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to play down the link between sugar and heart disease and promote saturated fat as the culprit instead, newly released historical documents show. The internal sugar industry documents, recently discovered by a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, and published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggest that five decades of research into the role of nutrition and heart disease, including many of today’s dietary recommendations, may have been largely shaped by the sugar industry."

"For the past 35 years, we’ve been following the US Dietary Guidelines for Americans (“Guidelines”). During this time, there’s been a sharp increase in nutrition-related diseases, particularly obesity and diabetes, and childhood obesity and diabetes diagnoses have quadrupled.

What is -- and what is not -- Nutrition Science?

All media are full of articles, videos, etc. telling about miracle diet programs, which the authors either conclude as the ultimate best one or they let some "prominent" scientists have a word or two about certain new hype diet methods.

"For us to stay healthy and active our bodies need energy…lots of energy. The energy produced by each of the trillions of cells in our bodies keeps our hearts beating, our muscles contracting, our brains functioning to send signals to the far reaches of our bodies, and our nerves carrying those signals to each of our organs to sustain life. Each day, our bodies produce and consume extraordinary amounts of energy. Let’s take the heart for example."
