As a kid I had a hand-me-down World Book Encyclopedia that was published in the late 1950s and I clearly remember the entry for "Sugar" starting with something very similar to, "Not only does sugar taste good, but it's good for you!" (I tried showing it to my parents in the hopes of them allowing more sugary desserts, but fortunately they weren't buying it.) I came to find out decades later that many of the entries in the World Book Encyclopedia were written by industry.
