[QUOTE="Biggles2, post: 1670820, member: 406880"] Christine Kearns Couzens is a lead researcher in the area of industry influence in research and public policy development. Here is a link to a great [B][I]Mother Jones[/I][/B] article about her work from 2012: [B]‘How a Former Dentist Drilled the Sugar Industry: “Below the blue letterhead of the Sugar Association, the word ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ leapt off the page.”[/B] [URL]http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2012/10/former-dentist-sugar-industry-lies/[/URL] And a link to one of the journal articles she has co-authored: [B]From JAMA in 2016:[/B] [INDENT][B][I]‘Sugar Industry and Coronary Heart Disease Research: A Historical Analysis of Internal Industry Documents’[/I][/B] "Together with other recent analyses of sugar industry documents, our findings suggest the industry sponsored a research program in the 1960s and 1970s that successfully cast doubt about the hazards of sucrose while promoting fat as the dietary culprit in CHD."[/INDENT] [URL]https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2548255?redirect=true[/URL] [B]From the BMJ in 2015:[/B] [INDENT][B]‘Sugar’s web of influence 2: Biasing the science’[/B] ‘Industry funding of research that shows sugar in a good light is nothing new.
