Newly released documents reveal that the sugar industry bribed high-profile and influential scientists from Harvard University, paying them to publish fake news about the primary causes of heart attacks.

quote:

The Harvard scientists false claims significantly influenced public health strategies regarding nutrition for decades, and the results are still being experienced today.

The news was disclosed in a recent special report in JAMA Internal Medicine and has shocked the research community. If the experts are taking bribes and lying about the causes of heart attacks, what else might they be lying about?

This has been known for a while. The NYT ran a front page piece on it back in 2016.

NPR ran a big piece on it too.

But that couldn't possibly happen today, especially not in pharmaceutical trials or approvals or anything like that...

I bet scientists are much cheaper than politicians.

This shouldn't be surprising. I mean, they've employed CCP spies, and educated a shitload of them.

Im not the least bit surprised. Sugar industry has been behind massive academic corruption for a long long time.

Wasn’t the entire point of doing peer review a ruse to sell scientific journals.

The dad of Ghislaine Maxwell right?

FWIW if a site is 7 years behind NPR and positions a long-known story like this as BREAKING NEWS it's probably not worth returning to, ever

Why media outlets so often omit the citation to the journal article? Infuriating.

This rerun of an old story is a classic example of how the media tries to keep us in a constant state of agitation. There was nothing in the news to alarm us, so they dragged up a story from 7 years ago.

This is why the "trust the science" mantra is such BS.

When studies can be manipulated to say anything anyone wants it to and the NPC keep shouting "trust the science", no one "wins".

this is one of the reasons I immediately lose respect for anyone that says "the science is settled".
