Abstract
...Together with other recent analyses of sugar industry documents, our findings suggest the industry sponsored a research program in the 1960s
and 1970s that successfully cast doubt about the hazards of sucrose
while promoting fat as the dietary culprit in CHD [coronary heart
disease]. Policymaking committees should consider giving less weight to
food industry–funded studies and include mechanistic and animal studies
as well as studies appraising the effect of added sugars on multiple CHD biomarkers and disease development.

This story also records what today must be ranked as an intensely
important interlude when the Navy radio/traffic intelligence program deliberately avoided the underlying intelligence of intercepted traffic
while exploiting foreign cryptographic systems. Today most intelligence
experts would call such a practice naive or ill advised. Yet a policy
requiring OP-20-G cryptanalysts to search primarily for unique
cryptographic features of codes and ciphers which might later be refined
and employed by Navy cryptographers was not changed until 1942. Coupled
with a reluctance to hire civilian trainees, this policy seriously
delayed the training of enough Navy cryptanalysts and linguists to deal
with a workload which increased exponentially both in complexity and
volume after 1939. Ultimately, the resulting shortage of cryptanalysts
and Japanese linguists, the problem of misplaced priorities, and
interservice rivalry issues all contributed to misplacing the major
focus of the Navy’s cryptanalytic and linguistic efforts on Japanese diplomatic messages. The unfortunate result of these circumstances was
to postpone with fatal consequences an all-out effort on Japanese Navy cryptosystems.

*Results* Starting in the 1980s, tobacco companies worked to create the appearance of broad opposition to tobacco control policies by attempting
to create a grassroots smokers’ rights movement. Simultaneously, they
funded and worked through third-party groups, such as Citizens for a
Sound Economy, the predecessor of AFP and FreedomWorks, to accomplish
their economic and political agenda. There has been continuity of some
key players, strategies and messages from these groups to Tea Party organisations. As of 2012, the Tea Party was beginning to spread internationally.
*Conclusions* Rather than being a purely grassroots movement that
spontaneously developed in 2009, the Tea Party has developed over time,
in part through decades of work by the tobacco industry and other
corporate interests. It is important for tobacco control advocates in
the USA and internationally, to anticipate and counter Tea Party
opposition to tobacco control policies and ensure that policymakers, the
media and the public understand the longstanding connection between the
tobacco industry, the Tea Party and its associated organisations.
