        Nope. Still propaganda. It has a negative cultural connotation but any form of persuasive rhetoric fits the basic definition of propaganda.

        Of course they didn’t. Do you think the body metabolizing sugar like any other calorie source and storing it as fat is new information that was completely unknown to science in the 1960s? You think they knew how to split the atom and go to the moon, but not the single most basic fact about nutrition?
