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.
From its historical origins as a prohibitively expensive luxury reserved for European aristocracy, sucrose—and subsequently high-fructose corn syrup—evolved into a ubiquitous, low-cost dietary staple worldwide.
The scientific endeavor to understand the relationship between sugar consumption and human pathology has been highly contentious, oscillating between early clinical dietary restrictions, mid-century epidemiological controversies, and modern molecular oncology.
