My personal favorite quote from that article:
Quote:
"Sugar calories promote fat storage and hunger. Fat calories induce fullness or satiation," they contended.
"Let us bust the myth of physical inactivity and obesity. You can't outrun a bad diet," they concluded.

Yes, let's bust that myth and focus on processed foods and added sugars as the real villains.
