A new investigation shows that the sugar industry cooked the books about the health dangers of their product back in the 1960’s. Recently discovered documents reveal that the Sugar Research Foundation paid three Harvard scientists to publish a review of sugar’s effect on fat and heart disease. The studies were handpicked by the sugar group to minimize the link between sugar and its problems with heart health -- and to shift the blame to fats. Stanton Glantz analyzed the documents and wrote about what he found in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
