Diet: Health News as Source for Laughs

Google News can be entertaining (http://news.google.com/).
Late August 2004 headlines show that at least some USA government
experts understand the difference between "good" and "bad" sugars.
However, they stopped short of telling us to limit refined sugar
intake, in updated dietary guidelines for 2005.

Could this reluctance to state the obvious be signs that commercial
interests are taken seriously by the Feds? News articles said that 7
of the 13 panel members have financial interests in the food
industry.
