- late
- 1970s

- government
- mandated
- we
- get
- the
- fat
- out
- of

- food,
- the
- food
- industry
- responded
- by
- pouring
- more
- sugar
- in.
- The
- result

- Chance
- debunks
- the
- widely
- held
- notion
- to
- prove

- a
- calorie”,
- and
- takes
- that
- science
- to
- its
- logical
- conclusion
- to
- improve
- health worldwide.
