The sugar industry’s efforts to manipulate research on fluoride effectiveness and toxicity: a ninety-year history

Background
--------------------------------------------------- Unstructured Sub-Title End
Extensive academic research has documented the tobacco industry’s manipulation of science. Recently, scholars have begun examining the sugar industry’s use of similar tactics to downplay sugar’s role in obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and tooth decay. Archival records show sugar-industry-funded scientists criticized evidence linking sugar to these harms and deflected attention to other risk factors. Sugar’s connection to tooth decay has been the most difficult harm for the industry to deny. Evidence is emerging that the industry turned to promoting fluoride as the solution to tooth decay thereby averting calls for reducing sugar consumption. Newly accessible sugar and dental industry documents enable investigation into whether fluoride research was manipulated to deflect from sugar’s role in tooth decay, and later to defend fluoride when evidence of fluoride’s own harmful effects arose.

Method
--------------------------------------------------- Unstructured Sub-Title End
Internal documents from sugar and dental organizations were examined and compared to the published scientific record. The Industries Documents collection at the University of California San Francisco was the main source of records. Analysis was in the context of the current understanding of how vested interests manipulate science to defend their products.
