Using
archival documents, a new report published online by JAMA Internal
Medicine examines the sugar industry's role in coronary heart disease
research and suggests the industry sponsored research to influence the
scientific debate to cast doubt on the hazards of sugar and to promote
dietary fat as the culprit in heart disease. Stanton A. Glantz, Ph.D.,
of the University of California, San Francisco, and coauthors examined
internal documents from the Sugar Research Foundation (SRF), which later
evolved into the Sugar Association, historical reports and other
material to create a chronological case study.
