37、ficance compared with the harm done by sugar.And it is everywhere.I It is difficult to buy anything in a supermarket,other than plain,unprepared meat,fish or vegetables,that doesn t have a large amount of sugar in it.This has come about because the prevailing scientific views of the 1960s and 1970s

38、ignored the evidence about sugar,and instead saw fat as the really serious risk,both to the heart and other organs,as well as the cause of obesity.J The fashion was to avoid fat.But finding that food with much of its fat removed is not very appetising,food producers turned to sugar as a magic altern

41、t really their own fault:obesity is in large part something that is being done to them.It should be stopped,or rather the government should stop it.M Going round my local supermarket,I am constantly astonished that it is still legal to sell all the poisons stacked high on the shelves.The problem is

42、that they are worse than useless.They are poisonous.They are known to be addictive.They are known to make people obese.And giving small children sweet drinks or bottles of fake juice all day long is nothing less than child abuse.N Clearly,the sale of such stuff ought to be illegal.I hate to think of
