SugarScience is the authoritative source for evidence-based, scientific information about sugar and its impact on health.
SugarScience.org is designed as an authoritative source for the scientific evidence about sugar and its impact on health. Developed by a team of health scientists from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), the site reflects an exhaustive review of more than 8,000 scientific papers that have been published to date, with a focus on the areas where the science is strongest – specifically, on diabetes, heart disease and liver disease. The goal of SugarScience is to take this information out of medical journals and make it available to the public, to help individuals and communities make healthy choices.

Det er et kæmpe marked, med millioner penge at tjene..... Mad producenterne "skjuler" hvad de putter i maden, smarte deklarationer, uden ansvarlighed og etik...Sukkerafhængighed er dybt forankret i den samfundsmæssige udvikling i den vestlige verden, hvor det nærmest er blevet en livsstil at spise fastfood og slik samt at drikke sukkerholdige drikkevarer.....
