Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, recently found long-lost details in the archives of the University of Illinois about how the sugar industry worked 40 years ago to control the research agenda on tooth decay.http://www.nutritionaction.com/wp-content/uploads/sugar-linked-to-obesity-heart-disease_637.jpg
