Sugar Industry Hid Study Linking Sugar to Heart Disease and Cancer

For forty years, the sugar industry has been hiding damaging evidence that sugar is linked to heart disease and cancer. Studies done by the Sugar Research Foundation in the 1960’s were buried because of their findings. Instead, the blame was place on fat in the diet. Agendas of big corporations will always be at odds with what’s best for our health, especially if what’s best lowers their profits. “Buyer beware” has never been a more true statement.
