MESSAGE FROM THE SURGEON GENERAL

1988

I am pleased to transmit to the Secretary of the Department of Health and

Human Services this first Surgeon General’s Report on Nutrition and Health.

It was prepared under the auspices of the Department’s Nutrition Policy

Board, and its main conclusion is that overconsumption of certain dietary

components is now a major concern for Americans. While many food

factors are involved, chief among them is the disproportionate consumption

of foods high in fats, often at the expense of foods high in complex

carbohydrates and fiber--such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grain

products--that may be more conducive to health.

The problem, in the UK at any rate, is sugar consumption. In the 1980’s fat was demonised and taken out of processed food which was trumpeted as LOW FAT! What wasn’t mentioned was that fat had been replaced by sugars - everywhere.

I found this article by George Monbiot very interesting in his analysis of why obesity is a growing, severe problem:
