So our government ran a study for 9 days with 43 kids between 9 and 18 years old who were all overweight, high risk of Type 2 Diabetes and other disorders, and averaged a quarter of the daily food intake from added sugars. In the study they simply replaced the calories of crappy added sugars with crappy carbohydrates (think bagels, baked chips, etc.) that had no added sugar, and also some small amount of fruit and vegetables. This cut their daily average of added sugars from 27% to 10%. After only 9 days all of the kids showed marked improvements in cholesterol, blood pressure, triglycerides, fasting blood sugar and insulin levels! Of course the scientists were shocked. Just imagine the results if they ate healthy carbohydrates, proteins and fats in the right proportion and did it for 30 days or longer.
After the FDA made a recommendation to lower the amount of allowable added sugar to the “dietary guidelines” the Sugar Association and the Grocery Manufacturers Association are both fighting the study and criticizing it. This is what is wrong with our food chain.
