This sure beats a sugar rush: in just the last two days, more than 18,041 UCS activists have demanded that the Food and Drug Administration stop the food industry from misleading consumers about the sugar content of their food. This action is taking off—just one of the science-driven campaigns we’re ramping up right now to counter corporate misinformation and improve our health.

Keep us riding high—and keep up the pressure. Hold corporations accountable to the facts by pitching in whatever you can right now.

A growing body of scientific evidence shows that added sugar is detrimental to our health. Taking a page right out of Big Tobacco’s playbook, sugar companies are using front groups and “hired guns” to mislead the public about sugar risk—spending billions of dollars on advertising, a quarter of it targeting children.¹

Together, we can get the word out. But we need your help now. Please, Chip in

Thank you,
