📣 New paper led by Holly Chung examining 23 yrs of data from the OpenSecrets database https://t.co/YvtDof0IOH We found the ultraprocessed food industry spent the most on lobbying ($1.1 billion), then gambling ($817 million), tobacco ($755 million) & alcohol ($541 million). (1/3)

Our new report:
Nine out of 20 members of the #DietaryGuidelines Advisory Committee have conflicts of interest with food, pharmaceutical, or weight loss companies or industry groups with a stake in the outcome of the guidelines. Four additional members have possible conflicts of interest.

Abbott, Novo Nordisk, National Dairy Council, Eli Lilly, and Weight Watchers (WW) International had ties to two or more DGAC members.

The report concludes that “with high-risk conflicts of interest still present on the DGAC, the public cannot have confidence that the official dietary advice from the U.S. government is free from industry influence.”

My latest for @washingtonpost uncovers a little known food industry tactic:

Food companies, including sugar and soda producers, are paying dietitians to promote their products and deliver industry-friendly messages on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.

Opioid manufacturers and distributors are paying more than $54 billion in restitution to settle lawsuits about their role in the overdose epidemic. @aneripattani breaks down the money’s path – from when it lands to how it’s spent.

‘Policy inertia’ is enabling the products and practices of some commercial actors to cause significant, ongoing harm to health, warn experts.

Attending my first sociology conference as a PhD candidate and the free samples are BOOKS. So much better than the latest toothpaste (sorry dentistry) #ASA2022

[Age Forward @ageforward_tw]

A recent article by Dr. Kimber Stanhope published in @NatRevCardiol shows that the US Dietary Guidelines recommendation to lower added #sugar to <10 percent of daily calories is evidence-based and necessary for public health.
