The World Sugar Research Organisation is the international lobbying arm of the sugar industry.

In 1996 and 1997 it ran a campaign to manipulate science and to fix the results of WHO/FAO expert reports . This was done in conjuction with an obscure organisation 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 amongst others and pursues their interests on a global stage.
