Thanks. I think what happened was that during the health panic of 60 or so years ago, the data all pointed to carbs as being the cause of virtually every chronic problem (even back then and long before).

The processed food industry knew that their existence was at risk if people ‘followed the science’ on this one, so they diverted everyone to fat, which wasn’t hard to do, since all that was needed was to say something like “fat in the food becomes fat on the human body, and thus will kill you”. Of course that isn’t true on a Keto diet, but then no one had been talking that way for decades back then (they did before insulin was isolated).

As to sugar, they may have figured out that people are going to eat sweet things regardless of what’s said, so they allowed sugar items to get bad press, knowing that people wouldn’t listen anyway.

And so now, with Ancel Keyes dead finally (everything bad leads back to him), people are very gradually stepping forward and starting to become honest again, but it’s very, very, hard for many to in the business to admit that they were wrong and, in many cases, harming or killing people with their ‘advice’.

But now, the pro-carb bunch have a new friend, which are the Leftists who are DEMANDING an end to meat consumption...which means carbs for everyone! So we’ll see who wins.
