- Title
The perils of ignoring history: Big Tobacco played dirty and millions died. How similar is Big Food?

Brownell, Kelly D; Warner, Kenneth E
- Abstract
In 1954 the tobacco industry paid to publish the "Frank Statement to Cigarette Smokers" in hundreds of U.S. newspapers. It stated that the public's health was the industry's concern above all others and promised a variety of good-faith changes. What followed were decades of deceit and actions that cost millions of lives. In the hope that the food history will be written differently, this article both highlights important lessons that can be learned from the tobacco experience and recommends actions for the food industry.
