VIDEO: Report accuses sugar industry of 1970s cover up
A new report accuses the sugar industry of using money to try to cover up the link between sugar and cavities in the 1970s.

We know eating too much sugar is linked to cavities.



But a new report accuses the sugar industry of using money to try to cover up that link in the 1970s.



The allegations come from researchers at the University of California--San Francisco.



The Sugar Association responded questioning why the study is trying to dredge up history.



They added preventing cavities is a combination of smart eating and smart dental care - such as brushing after snacks.
