In which countries is sugar added to skimmed milk? It is not in Sweden - skimmed and semi-skimmed are purely the result of removing fat from whole milk.
The united states. Our sugar industry lobbied hard for the government to tell everyone that fat is bad for you and funded false studies saying so.
So low-fat and fat-free foods became the norm and to make up for the lack of flavor, companies added loads of sugar to everything and got people addicted to it.
