No Way, Check Out this Vintage Sugar Ad


From Vintage Ads HERE in its full size, its an ad promoting sugar for WEIGHT LOSS! For reals!!! In some ways its actually true, it mention that it is the fastest way to get energy (calories) through your blood-stream and that artificial sweetners don't do that (true, and they, we now know, can interfere with your sense of satiety), but still no mention of blood rush, then collapse which then leads to more eating that is common with sugar. Oh, well, its just interesting to see how they've been trying to sell us the Brooklyn Bridge for generations now, thanks Mad Men!

  1. Well compared to sugar subsitutes, real sugar wlll satsify better and could lead to less eating. Yet, real sugar compared to complex carbs will make you want to eat more. So I guess it is all realitive.
