Just like some smokers got compensation from the Tobacco Industry , when it was announced that smoking
Tobacco causes health problems. Could the Sugar industry now be taken to the courts by people who have
Type 2 Diabetes or similar health problems caused by eating "Low Fat" labelled food which are full of sugar.
I am no legal eagle, but would be curious to know if action could be done against the sugar industry, after
reading this report, which shows the Sugar Industry went out of their way to Demonize Fat.
And then put excess amounts of sugar into Low Fat labelled products.

Trust no one.
That’s the takeaway of a new study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), which claims the sugar industry in the 1960s launched a campaign in which it paid for nutrition research to downplay evidence linking America’s rising sugar consumption to heart disease. In doing so, the industry was able to deflect negative attention away from sugar on to fat and cholesterol, which by the 1980s were seen as the main contributors to cardiovascular disease.
It wasn’t until this year, in February, that the US government eased its position on cholesterol, illustrating just how powerful industry forces can be in shaping decades of federal policy and conventional wisdom about what we eat and whether it’s healthy.
