    In Britain, as recently as the 2000s, Mars Bars and other candy bars were promoted as being wholesome, with plenty of nourishing glucose. And a high-glucose drink, called Lucozade, was promoted as a nourishing drink to restore energy. About 10 years ago, it had to reduce its sugar content, to avoid being hit with the new "sugar tax", but it's still too sweet.

    "Gotta rebuild that candy industry, after the sugar-rationing of WWII got people used to not being able to get candy. But first, we have to stress the importance of proper nutrition. Then, we can hit 'em with all the great stuff about candy."
    Funny thing: The teeth of ancient skeletal remains from centuries ago, before sugar became widely available in England, are remarkably good, despite a lack of any dental care. The teeth of skeletal remains from after sugar became widely available in England, are in horrible condition.

    Honestly, this isn't as crazy as I was expecting. If they added a section to the beginning telling people who don't get any exercise to stay away from sugar, I don't think there would be anything to complain about -- at least for the time it was made. Even the section on nutrition, where the advice was to eat the seven main food groups first and then eat other stuff after that, was pretty good; I've heard pretty similar advice in videos about bodybuilding and weight loss before.

    • @OofusTwillip
      @OofusTwillip Місяць тому +3

      A bit of regular corn syrup (they didn't have HFCS then) prevents the hot candy from crystallizing into a grainy mess. They weren't using it as the main sweetening agent, like HFCS is used today.
