Records dating back to the 1930s demonstrate the sugar industry, sometimes in cooperation with dental interests, exaggerated fluoride’s effectiveness and downplayed safety concerns. The sugar industry’s science manipulation campaign preceded the better-known tobacco industry campaign defending cigarettes. Key leaders o... |

Conclusion |
--------------------------------------------------- Unstructured Sub-Title End |
Recently available records reveal a long history of the sugar industry distorting fluoride science. Many of the sugar industry’s tactics were later adopted by the tobacco industry and mirrored by industries involved in asbestos, lead, pesticides, climate change denial, and others. Researchers and policymakers should be... |

Fig. 6 Key people connecting the sugar industry to the dental establishment and tobacco industry. A Robert Hockett, Scientific Director of the Sugar Research Foundation (SRF) from 1943 to 1953. In 1954 he switched to become Associate Scientific Director of the Tobacco Industry Research Committee when it first formed an... |

A few years later, Hockett arranged to have Stare pass tobacco industry money through the Harvard Nutrition Department to an anthropologist, Carl Seltzer, who was nominally employed by the department [161–164].¹² Seltzer actually worked full-time promoting a tobacco industry message claiming smoking did not cause heart... |

¹² According to The Center For Media and Democracy’s SourceWatch, Stare essentially laundered money for Seltzer from the tobacco industry: “Over a number of decades, more than $2 million in tobacco money passed through secret accounts and were channeled to Seltzer via Stare. The companies paid on a pro-rata basis accor... |
¹³ The arrangement in which Stare surreptitiously passed tobacco money to Seltzer (while taking a cut) lent the name “Harvard” as cover for Seltzer’s cigarette defense efforts. It lasted from 1963–1977, and netted Seltzer over $2 million. Archived financial statements of Stare’s Harvard Nutrition Department from its in... |

Sugar was found to reduce the alkalinity of tobacco smoke to make it mild enough to inhale into the lungs, something not typically done with the previous common methods of smoking tobacco in pipes and cigars. “Sugar and tobacco have a long and incestuous histo... |
In one of Hockett’s SRF science bulletins from 1949 an article describes the crucial role of added sugar in making cigarette smoke less irritating [167]. It describes the chemistry of added sugars that produce a less alkaline smoke. Unmentioned is that smoke from cigarettes produces a faster and stronger nicotine respo... |
In 1950, the SRF commissioned a report by a biochemist/statistician to estimate the market for sugar in the burgeoning cigarette industry. The report, titled “Tobacco and Sugar” confirmed for the sugar industry leaders what |
¹⁴ Proctor describes the link between sugar and tobacco: “This business of sugar in tobacco leaf is a fascinating one — and insufficiently appreciated outside the tobacco man’s labs. Sugar and tobacco have a long and incestuous history, and as one leading insider put it in the 1940s, ‘Were it not for sugar, the America... |
