Sugar - the battle since the 1970's

I ran across this short report on sugar and allegations that the Sugar Research  Foundation secretly funded an 1965 NEJM study that discounted the evidence on sugar. PLoS Biology recently published a study looking at the history of this and other evidence of research not seeing the light of day. See what you think.
