World Sugar Research Organisation
The campaign by the World Sugar Research Organisation to manipulate science and to fix the results of WHO/FAO expert reports (as revealed by panorama last week). This is done in conjuction with an obscure organisation not well known called the International Life Sciences Institute. With members from literally hundreds of food industry TNCs this is a key food industry lobby group. It was set up by and is funded by coca cola and pursues their interests on a global stage. This is in addition to the 500 odd agencies in pr and associated fields which Coke employs world wide.
