Pseudovetenskap om socker, som lobbyister sprider:

"Skeptikern" Steven Novella(grundare av SBM bloggen. ACSH lobbyist) om "high fructose corn syrup":

"They also point out that there has been a lot of misleading research involving feeding animals a high carbohydrate diet consisting entirely of fructose, which cannot be extrapolated to HFCS consumption.
