The Great Sugar Cover-Up
Big Sugar paid scientists to blame fat—not sugar—for heart disease.
Millions died because of it.
Here’s how they manipulated America’s health since 1965 (and how to protect yourself): 🧵 https://t.co/iTykBMMgYt
1. In 1967, one study exposed sugar as the real cause of heart disease & diabetes.
But that truth was buried.
Why?
Because it threatened profits.
So Big Sugar paid 3 Harvard scientists to rewrite the narrative. https://t.co/9SG8jLO2OG
2. They paid each scientist ~$65,000 (adjusted for today).
Goal?
Make fat the villain.
Clear sugar’s name.
Protect profits.
These were elite researchers:
• Dr. Stare (Harvard)
• Dr. Hegsted (USDA advisor)
• Dr. Gandy (dietary pioneer) https://t.co/U7A1ODDMyh
3. The scientists dismissed studies showing:
• Sugar caused deadly arterial plaques
• High-carb diets increased heart disease
Their excuse?
“Those diets are rarely consumed.”
They pushed low-fat, high-carb guidelines instead.
4. Doctors adopted the lies.
- So did the government.
- Butter was replaced with margarine.
- Healthy fats were vilified.
- Low-fat, sugar-filled foods became the norm.
And that poisoned an entire nation. https://t.co/0nkNdl11kv
5. The fallout?
• Sugar intake tripled
• Type 2 diabetes exploded
• Obesity surged
• 1 in 3 Americans now has a blood sugar issue
And Big Sugar cashed in. https://t.co/JqYoHnwgwj
6. In 1980, only 1 in 50 Americans had a blood sugar problem.
Now?
1 in 3.
The false dietary guidelines from Harvard’s sugar-funded study caused a public health catastrophe.
158 million deaths are linked to this manipulation. https://t.co/wec7OaP0Oe
7. So what can you do?
Start with your diet:
• Avoid ultra-processed foods
• Ditch “low-fat” snacks
• Cut out added sugars
Eat real food:
🥩 Meat
🍳 Eggs
🥬 Veggies
🐟 Fish
🧈 Butter
🍇 Whole fruit https://t.co/LFbEakgz2q
8. Big Sugar. Big Food. Big Pharma.
They’ve built trillion-dollar industries off keeping you sick.
But you have a choice.
Change what you eat.
Change how you live https://t.co/0HEF1s2pou
9. Take back your power:
✔ Fix your diet
✔ Improve blood sugar
✔ Share this truth
The solution doesn’t come from a pill.
It starts with your plate.
