The Epidemiological and Metabolic History of Dietary Sugars: A Two-Century Analysis of Chronic Disease and Oncology The macronutrient composition of the human diet has undergone a profound transformation over the past two centuries, characterized most distinctly by the exponential increase in the consumption of refined sugars.
