The false information about sugar started when government scientists and commercial interests attacked one of the pioneering works of sugar consumption, Sugar Blues, by William Dufty (husband of actress Gloria Swanson) in 1975.
I remember when I was a kid it was called Sugar Diabetes. In fact sometimes people just called it sugar. My grandmother said of my great grandmother, "she's got sugar." It was also called juvenile diabetes if it was insulin dependent and adult onset if the pancreas stil produced insulin. Now children get adult onset diabetes because the government gave the false information that you could eat all the carbs you wanted if you ate little fat. The original USA food pyramid came out in 1992.
Don't give up with that big log Kent! Remember the biggest tree can be cut with the smallest axe with enough persistence :-). Good luck with the book!
