Sugar industry secretly paid for favorable Harvard research
We acknowledge that the Sugar Research Foundation should have exercised greater transparency in all of its research activities
Reports the Kearns paper and the Sugar Association's statement in response, which acknowledged that the SRF 'should have exercised greater transparency' and said it was 'challenging for us to comment on events that allegedly occurred 60 years ago, and on documents we have never seen'. Also quotes Glantz that the reviews 'helped shift the emphasis of the discussion away from sugar onto fat' and Nestle calling the findings a 'smoking gun'.
