Many of the same criticisms raised about the research on fat and saturated fat can now be directed at the research on sugar. Indeed, many top commentators simply switched from criticizing fat to criticizing sugar-- including Jane Brody at the NY Times, Marion Nestle at NYU, Robert Lustig at UCSF. They now claim that "the evidence" overwhelmingly implicates sugar, just as they claimed for fat a few years earlier. In fact, the evidence is skimpy for both cases.
