Dr. Mercola's comment, in part....
Now the U.S.-based Sugar Association is trying to get the report withdrawn
(along with six other major food industry groups including the U.S. Council
for International Business, of which Coca-Cola and Pepsico are a part),
saying that up to 25 percent of our daily intake can come from sugar.

The sugar industry is threatening to lobby Congress to cut off WHO’s funding
unless they withdraw their report. Not surprisingly, the sugar industry is a
major player in U.S. politics--the sugar industry gave more than $3 million
in donations in the 2002 federal elections.
