Yeah, many products had (and still have) reduced fat but added sugar. Sugar belongs in desserts in my opinion. Eating fat doesn't make you fat.
Pretty sure fat digests pretty easily for humans, while we are omnivores we lean more towards the carnivore side of things. Remember our big evolutionary advantage is our ability to throw things good and just keep walking, persistence hunting was our big fuck you advantage.
Another advantage that we developed later on is our ability to seamlessly shift from small to big team organizations, sometimes working without any apparent hierarchy. Gobleki Tepe is one of the prime examples of prehistoric cities
Too bad the world as a whole kinda stuck with super rigid top down hierarchies for the past 500 years
Eating sugar doesn't either unless you're at a calorie surplus but yeah sugar does mess with you hormonally in a way that you're more likely to put yourself at a calorie surplus vs fats.
