The scientific article on which our ideas regarding the risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are based were heavily sponsored by the American Sugar Association.<\/p>\n
The article, published in 1967 by 3 Harvard authors in the highly renowned New England Medical Journal completely disregards the role of sugar in the cause of CVD and blames everything on fat.
\nJAMA, another renowned medical journal published an article in September, 2016, detailing how the 3 authors of the previously mentioned article were each given $50.000 to ignore any articles in medical literature that question the effects of sugar.<\/p>\n
Articles in renowned journals, written by top scientists are a good way to settle scientific debates. The same happened here. In the 70s, there were 2 schools of thought in medicine: those who linked CVD to sugars and those who linked CVD to saturated fats. The article from ’67 put an end to that in a single swoop.<\/p>\n
The American -and European- authorities removed fat from our foods and replaced it with sugar as a substitute…<\/p>\n
A significant, but sad fact is that many pinpoint the late 60s as the start of the obesity epidemic.<\/p>\n
PS: Since the 80s, scientists are (fortunately) obliged to mention any ties to the industry when they publish their works.<\/p>\n

Het wetenschappelijke artikel waarop onze idee\u00ebn over de risicofactoren voor hart-en vaatziekten (HVZ) zijn gebaseerd werd zwaar gesponsord door de Amerikaanse Sugar Association.\r\n\r\nIn dit in 1967 verschenen overzicht van het onderzoek hieromtrent door 3 Harvard auteurs in het zeer gezaghebbende wetenschappelijke tijdschrift New England Medical Journal werd de rol van suiker in het ontstaan van HVZ gedecimeerd en vet bezegeld als de grote boosdoener waar het HVZ betreft.\r\nJAMA, een ander belangrijk medisch tijdschrift beschrijft in zijn september 2016 nummer hoe de 3 auteurs van dit artikel ieder omgerekend $50.000 toegeschoven kregen om uit alle medische literatuur alleen die artikelen te beschrijven die de rol van suiker bagatelliseerden.*\r\n\r\nArtikelen in gerenommeerde tijdschriften geschreven door topwetenschappers zijn een goed middel om wetenschappelijke dilemma\u2019s te beslechten. Zo gebeurde ook hier. In de jaren 70 waren er 2 denkrichtingen in de geneeskunde: zij die HVZ linkten aan suikers en zij die HVZ linkten aan verzadigd vet. Genoemd artikel maakte hier in 1 keer een einde aan.\r\nDe Amerikaanse -en Europese- autoriteiten haalden vet uit onze voedingswaren en voegden suiker toe als smaakvervanger\u2026.\r\n\r\nVeelbetekend maar droevig feit is dat volgens velen eind jaren 60 de obesitas epidemie ontstond.\r\n\r\nPS. Sinds de jaren 80 zijn wetenschappers gelukkig verplicht om bij publicaties hun eventuele banden met de industrie te vermelden\r\n\r\n*(Kearns CE, Schmidt LA, Glantz SA.
