How Big Sugar pushed fluoride — new study alleges a century of spin
The sugar industry and companies that make sweet drinks and foods have spent nearly a century downplaying sugar’s role in health problems and distorting the science around fluoride — and the practice continues today, according to a new study. The study, published in the journal Environmental Health, adds to evidence that the industry promoted fluoride as the solution to tooth decay to avoid scrutiny over sugar’s role. … The findings come as two states — Utah and Florida — and dozens of communities have banned fluoride in public water.
