In 2009, The University of California uploaded an hour and a half YouTube video presentation by Dr Robert Lustig entitled: ‘Sugar: The Bitter Truth.’
The video went viral attracting over 8 million views!! Around that time, a previously unknown ‘Gary Taubes’ wrote best-seller ‘Good Calories, Bad Calories,’ and ‘Why We Get Fat.’
These books were basically demonising carbohydrates with specific emphasis on sugar.
