In the 1960s, the sugar industry funded research that downplayed the risks of sugar and highlighted the hazards of fat, according to a newly published article in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Fat still isn’t good for you. It’s just that sugar is bad for you also.
Most fat is perfectly healthy, it’s when it’s heinously over processed or you eat too much that it’s bad. Sugar also has an important place in a balanced diet, albeit much smaller.
I think that’d be anyone selling high-fat products, but I don’t know if they have a specific lobby. Fast food industry alone would support such effort I bet.
Important to note

Fat is an essential macronutrient. It’s just that we consume way too much.
Just stay clear of transfat and saturated fat as much as possible, and you will be healthier.
Yes. Everything in moderation. I should’ve clarified what I said.

Maybe a dumb question, but is there a fat industry which could have lobbied against the sugar industry?

Well, there’s big oil, but their lobbying agenda was pretty full already.
They were too busy taking a victory lap after pushing the idea of a “carbon footprint”

Bro science here: I heard fat and sugar combined is a force multiplier. Easier for body to store fat in presence of sugar.
Depends on the fat.
