I remember reading a book in the late 1990s called Sugar Busters by 2 retired doctors who proved the sugar industry was lying about the benefits of sugar. They were sued by the sugar industry for claiming it was slander. They were proved correct in time. This was before the rise of the Atkins diet or even Keto diets.
I remember when I was kid in the 1970s (Queens, NYC) the foods you could buy had very little sugar and there was no craze to buy lowfat or nonfat nonsense like you see today. People used to use Crisco shortening to cook food and not all these unhealthy vegetable oils. Even the portions restaurants gave you was much smaller back then.
Also the rise of cereals as a breakfast food really was unhealthy. Before WW II most people in the US ate slow cooked Oatmeal/Porridge or eggs & bacon/sausage.
