I'm conflicted about this story. I fully believe that Coca-cola and other megacorps would have front groups undermining health research, but I'd normally expect it to be arguing against sugar replacements. The linked report is done by a group that has previously found the front group working to undermine warnings about sugar and soda taxes (which despite the name are generally sugar taxes, and don't apply to low sugar sodas): > ILSI sugar study out of ‘tobacco industry’s playbook’ > In 2016, public health experts denounced an ILSI-funded sugar study published in a prominent medical journal that was a “scathing attack on global health advice to eat less sugar,” reported Anahad O’Connor in the New York Times. The ILSI-funded study argued that warnings to cut sugar are based on weak evidence and cannot be trusted. But I guess it's possible that both Sugar and Aspartame are bad for you and they'll just try to undermine any possible health risk from the so-called "food" industry.
