The thing is most people know it's the sugar even if industry fights it every step of the way.
They might not know that saturated fat isn't as bad as they claim but sugar has definitely risen in the public consciousness.
The thing that bothers me is the substances people don't even have a clue about. Vegetarians, carnivores, keto types, all of them really downplay or ignore the role omega6s from seed oils that we shove into literally everything. The oxidation and inflammatory effects of which contribute to both obesity, cancer and heart disease
We can't eat enough omega3s to offset it either. We should be at a 1:1 ratio but are rather at a 50:1 ratio.
Industrialized food and the powers behind it have perverted our relationship with fat, jacked up our sugar and increased our omega6s by 50x what it should be.
And cutting seed oils, imho, is way harder than cutting carbs. Most people would just give up if made aware
- inglor_cz 6y agoYou are right. The more I dive into the sea of nutrition advice and research, the less I am sure whether I can actually eat healthily.
- loudtieblahblah 6y agoit doesn't help that things like the American Heart Association openly lies about omega-6sclaiming they are "healthy"without stating that they are at levels found in the human population 70 years ago rather than today and has been peddling disinformation regarding saturated fats and sugar for decades.
