What has happened to our food industry since 1960s?

• In the 1960s, the Sugar Research Foundation (SRF) funded Harvard scientists to conduct a literature review that bribed researchers and doctors to lie and not divulge the risks of sugar and emphasised dangers of fat without foundational evidence placing animal fats in the food industry as evil. This research, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1967 without disclosing the sugar industry’s funding, influenced dietary recommendations. The review critiqued studies downplayed the linking of sugar to heart disease while supporting increased false warnings implicating fat as the root cause, shaping public and scientific opinion for decades. Recent investigations have revealed this manipulation and its long-lasting impact on nutritional science and public health policies.

• A study by the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation reviewed decades of research on red meat consumption and found weak evidence linking unprocessed red meat to colorectal cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, and ischemic heart disease. They introduced a "burden of proof risk function" to rate health risks, finding no substantial risk from red meat. The study suggests the greater health concern is insufficient vegetable consumption, not red meat itself​ (RealClearScience)​.
