Sweet for my Sweets - Sugar for my Honey
I wish we knew what that really ment back in the 60s. Sugary Beverages, often mixed with Alcohol was the drink of choice with Coca Cola securing the majority of the Market. When i look back now i remember that there weren't that many fat people around....very different from today. People over the past decades mushroomed to giant sizes. That includes Asia and Thailand in particular where sugar is often added to soups. So why people still drink that shit ?

According to this report the sugar beverage industry undermined any attempt to reduce the use of sugar. The industry paid many science reports that sugary drinks were not causing diabetes etc. You can find the same system of misinformation in many other fields targeting consumer food.

Coca-Cola "Paid Scientists to Downplay" Harmful Effects of Sugar, New Study Finds

Here's what they concluded:

"Our analysis reveals a series of strategies, practices and mechanisms employed by Coca-Cola to influence the academic community and general public to promote its interests… These practices included an attempt to divert attention from The Coca-Cola Company's role as a funding source in research; diversifying funding partners; and, in some cases, downplaying the amount of funds it donated. Second, there was evidence of a 'coalition-building' strategy, through which Coca-Cola supported a network of academics that could promote messages associated with its public relations strategy and sought to support those academics in advancing their careers and building their affiliated public health and medical institutions."
