For decades, the links between sugar and poor health outcomes have been buried to shield industry interests, without regard for public health.

 

Sweetened beverages have been identified as a major contributor to the obesity and diabetes epidemics around the world, and in light of the scientific evidence, many public health organizations are now starting to take a stand against added sugars.
