What do food industry leaders really think about science and public health organizations? A new study in the journal Critical Public Health – based on a document obtained by U.S. Right to Know that was authored by a former Coca-Cola executive – “provides direct evidence that senior leaders in the food industry advocate for a deliberate and coordinated approach to influencing scientific evidence and expert opinion.”

How do they do it? By "co-opting academic contacts, infiltrating major scientific bodies and medical associations, and influencing the generation of scientific evidence,” report the study's authors Gary Sacks of Deakin University, Boyd Swinburne of the University of Auckland, Adrian Cameron of Deakin University and Gary Ruskin of U.S. Right to Know. More Revelations from the Monsanto Papers  
Documents reveal how Monsanto manufactured "outrage" at the World Health Organization's cancer panel over its cancer classification of glyphosate, by enlisting teams of PR experts, lobbyists, scientists and front groups to appear as a storm of “outcry.” Carey is traveling to Europe this week at the invitation of European Parliament members for meetings and press events about glyphosate and Monsanto. She returns to Brussels in October as an invited participant in a joint committee hearing of the European Parliament focused on the “Monsanto Papers.”
 
Carey's new book is available now! "Whitewash: The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer and the Corruption of Science" - a "hard-hitting, eye-opening narrative."
