A bit of background from BuzzFeed.
study shows that the sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to downplay the link between sugar and heart disease — blaming saturated fat, instead
A legacy that continues today

Fat bad!
Sugar fine, just don’t go nuts. Bad for your teeth.
Had a hard time getting my head around the idea that some fats are not only OK, but necessary and good for you. The brain washing goes deep.
Also, all y’all are fat as fuck. It’s truly freaky what we kids considered “fat” vs. what people today call “fat”.
Pro tip: Exercise won’t drop pounds, but do it anyway! Also, it’s OK, even desirable, to be low-key hungry.
Keto taught me amazing lessons about fat. I just had to unlearn shoving cheese and bacon in my mouth all the time when I quit it.
I’m in your cohort.
Every time I eat fatty meat, I’m pretty sure it’s gonna kill me. And part of me thinks it’s perfectly fine to throw back sugary drinks and treats.
Those fuckers have a lot to answer for.
I love all the candy that is “fat free.”
Only 18 calories per teaspoon and it’s all energy
Yeah, that’s what calories are measuring…
the false implication being that calories of energy are somehow better than “calories of fat”. Though since they don’t say it out loud they can mislead people without technically lying.
Literal propaganda
Yeah wild times, those cigarette commercials too man, “doesn’t take your breath away” with two tennisplayer girls smoking…
Unless the people who wrote that really thought it was true 🤔
Hahahaaaaaha…
…hahahaaaahaa. Nope. They knew
Nope. Still propaganda. It has a negative cultural connotation but any form of persuasive rhetoric fits the basic definition of propaganda.
Of course they didn’t. Do you think the body metabolizing sugar like any other calorie source and storing it as fat is new information that was completely unknown to science in the 1960s? You think they knew how to split the atom and go to the moon, but not the single most basic fact about nutrition?
Have you ever smoked cigarettes? You know something’s up in the first month—you can feel them “taking your breath away”.
I think you meant to respond to Valmond. not me.
Just drink a Diet Coke when you eat your sugar. They cancel each other out.
“Thats wut mammma said, diets cancel out the regular sodies”
Something I saw a 500lb woman say on TV
I read this in JaboodyDubs’ voice
i’ll have two double quarters, large fries, two apple pies, large chocolate shake…
and a diet coke.
We cut back where we can.
I saw someone do that once and they said they just like the taste of Diet Coke more. 🤷♂️

I dont know how people do it, every sugar alternatives I’ve tried taste like ass: sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, saccharin, all of them are fucking disgusting.
I’d say sucralose is the most pernicious, I’ve bought things not labeled as no sugar(Asian countries LOVE using it in random shit) and as soon as that aftertaste hits I gag.
It’s best to just change your palette so it doesn’t need sugary tastes anyway. If you don’t want sugar substitutes, just change your diet so your body doesn’t expect sweet things at all. That’s a great move.
This is the way!
Same with coffee or tea. The moment you find the good stuff you easily see there is neither need for sugar nor milk in both of them.
Everyone looks at me strangely when I ask for 0% sugar in my bubble tea. The pearls already have sugar in them, and when your palette changes, you can taste the tea and milk so much clearer rather than having all of that covered up by the taste of sugar.
Tbh attempting to replace sugar with “sugar alternatives” is part of the problem. The other part of the problem is that commercial goods are sold with a fuckton of super sugar (high fructose corn syrup et al.) added to them which is completely unnecessary. If you just try to get your sugar from natural sources and try to eat some fiber with it (whole fruit is perfect for this) you’re on the right track.
The short version is simply: don’t drink your sweets
Erythritol is supposedly not bad.
that’s one of those sugar alcohols that can do thunderous things…
sodies…sodie pops
Joke’s on them it’s always fat time in my house.
If sugar can fill that hollow feeling, I’m all for it!
The expression on her face no less
And when I’m about to be overcome with feelings of existential dread and rage at the patriarchy, I just reach for my box of Bisquick™
Wait this was supposed to be rhetorical needling at ancient propaganda and now you are personally attacking me and my little box 🧐
Sugar fills that hollow feeling in my soul, and isn’t that the important thing?
Its fat time right now, gonna eat a whole frozen pizza
ive heard they’re even better cooked
Cooked with sugar for a glaze, deep fried, and then topped with sugar while cooling are my Achilles’ heels ngl
Nah
Don’t forget to cover it in sugar for maximum energy.
Got milk?
Or the Dutch “Melk is goed voor elk” (“milk is good for anyone”). Same vibe, different era.Well, milk IS good.
almost every “milk is good for you” campaign has been government-funded marketing for people to consume the surplus stock of overproduced dairy post-war. human milk is good for human babies, animal milk is good for animal babies.
And cheese. You forgot cheese.
Oh but cheese is delicious
this is true
It really isn’t, though.

The cure for fat time … Fatter time! … It’ll be a race to determine how fast you can get fatter or how rapid we can make your heart pump

Since nobody has mentioned it, if you eat Skittles or gummy bears after a workout it makes you feel so much better, at least in my experience. If I don’t eat sugar I feel like I need food urgently.
I hope this is satire
As usual, life is more complicated than a simple “sugar is always bad”. For some details, see this example : https://russhowepti.com/post-workout-haribo-gummy-bears/
TL;DR: Eating Haribos after workouts doesn’t benefit your body. People who are having controlled treats and cheats during their diet plans may be less obese (correlation). The author of this article concluded there’s a causality between eating Haribos after workout and being able to stay on your diet plans based on anectodal knowledge.
Sugar is highly addictive. If you avoid eating it, you won’t crave it
Huh? It’s well known that it’s good to have carbs after working out. The problem is when you’re just eating carbs without using the energy because then it gets stored as fats.
I don’t know if the particular comment you responded to is meant as a joke, but in my experience, a sugary drink after a hard workout does feel amazing. I get this post-workout thirst that no amount of water can quench, but a Gatorade will always do the trick.
I have the same but without the workout…
\s
It’s pretty popular with MMA and other people working out pretty hard. You can also mix glucose powder with some caffeine, OJ, and a tiny bit of salt.
If you’re training for weight loss it might be better to avoid it unless the calories have been accounted for in whatever diet plan you’re using.
Another option instead of gummy bears that people use is a sweet potato although those can be hard to have on hand right after a workout.
You can also buy glucose powder.
Sweet Potatos are like Baked Potatoes. Just throw one in the oven whenever, cause you may not want one now, but by the time they’re done, who knows?
You look weak. I recommend you drink some 36% cream. It will give you energy and you won’t need that exercise nonsense.
This but with eggs.
The fat time of day: youre really hungry and reacy to eat twoof everything, Here’s how sugar can help. “If sugar can fill that bollow feling.
