    At the time people thought fats made you fat (calories in and out still matter though). Knowledge and our understanding of nature advances, it doesn’t mean there was some grand conspiracy. People 50 years from now may say “I can’t believe those fools legalized pot.”

    Just because someone paid for something doesn’t automatically discount it.

    Except it wasn’t really peer-reviewed.

    It was. The editorial board appoints reviewers.

      Knowledge and our understanding of nature advances, it doesn’t mean there was some grand conspiracy.

      Except, you know, it was a grand conspiracy. It was not “our understanding” or “knowledge.” It was blatantly the sugar lobby making up “science” and presenting it as fact in order to justify government aided and subsidized expansion. This actually happened. This is an uncontroversial fact.

        You cherry picked one subject to make a grand hand waving argument about everything.
