A bit of background from BuzzFeed.
study shows that the sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to downplay the link between sugar and heart disease — blaming saturated fat, instead
Born in '71 for context.
Fat bad!
Sugar fine, just don’t go nuts. Bad for your teeth.
Had a hard time getting my head around the idea that some fats are not only OK, but necessary and good for you. The brain washing goes deep.
Also, all y’all are fat as fuck. It’s truly freaky what we kids considered “fat” vs. what people today call “fat”.
Pro tip: Exercise won’t drop pounds, but do it anyway! Also, it’s OK, even desirable, to be low-key hungry.
Only 18 calories per teaspoon and it’s all energy
Yeah, that’s what calories are measuring…
Literal propaganda
Of course they didn’t. Do you think the body metabolizing sugar like any other calorie source and storing it as fat is new information that was completely unknown to science in the 1960s? You think they knew how to split the atom and go to the moon, but not the single most basic fact about nutrition?
Have you ever smoked cigarettes? You know something’s up in the first month—you can feel them “taking your breath away”.
Just drink a Diet Coke when you eat your sugar. They cancel each other out.
“Thats wut mammma said, diets cancel out the regular sodies”
Something I saw a 500lb woman say on TV
i’ll have two double quarters, large fries, two apple pies, large chocolate shake…
and a diet coke.

I dont know how people do it, every sugar alternatives I’ve tried taste like ass: sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, saccharin, all of them are fucking disgusting.
I’d say sucralose is the most pernicious, I’ve bought things not labeled as no sugar(Asian countries LOVE using it in random shit) and as soon as that aftertaste hits I gag.
It’s best to just change your palette so it doesn’t need sugary tastes anyway. If you don’t want sugar substitutes, just change your diet so your body doesn’t expect sweet things at all. That’s a great move.
This is the way!
Same with coffee or tea. The moment you find the good stuff you easily see there is neither need for sugar nor milk in both of them.
Tbh attempting to replace sugar with “sugar alternatives” is part of the problem. The other part of the problem is that commercial goods are sold with a fuckton of super sugar (high fructose corn syrup et al.) added to them which is completely unnecessary. If you just try to get your sugar from natural sources and try to eat some fiber with it (whole fruit is perfect for this) you’re on the right track.
The short version is simply: don’t drink your sweets
Joke’s on them it’s always fat time in my house.
