So often when researching major UK health charities and dietary organisations, you will find multi-national food conglomerations and large pharmaceutical companies, acting as financial sponsors. Certain questions come to mind. Firstly, how would it affect the sponsors turnover and profits, if the healthcare organisations, promoted a whole fresh food diet, and advised us to stay well clear of highly processed factory produced high carb/sugar/starch foods to all, especially diabetics. It's my opinion big pharma and big food would lose £billions. The second question you need to ask yourself, should healthcare organisations accept funding from outfits that have vested interests in maintaining the status quo. I call these organisations Black OP's outfits.
Please note.
This is by no means a complete list of commercial organisations funding and sponsoring UK health organisations. Also, the companies involved change from time to time, almost always 'the usual suspects' are to be found. We will endeavour to update this list in the near future.

A black operation or black op is a covert operation by a government, a government agency, or a military organisation. This can include activities by private companies or groups. Key features of a black operation are that it is secret and it is not attributable to the organisation carrying it out.The main difference between a black operation and one that is merely secret is that a black operation involves a significant degree of deception, to conceal who is behind it or to make it appear that some other entity is responsible.

Wow, you need to come and visit the USA and give us the BLACK OP outfits in this country. Our foods are so heavily processed, it is no wonder that we are so unhealthy. (Before anyone is angry at me for saying this, I only want the best for any country, including my own.)
Wonderful informative post and though provoking ! thanks, ^_^
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year to you all,
