In all of those cases, the scientific community was united in saying these things were unhealthy, but industry always produced "experts" with studies that showed these things were not unhealthy.

Eric,
While your opinion is very valid, it is also completely one sided. Lets take for example, the issue of Marijuana. The "experts" have been saying for years that marijuana is unhealthy, yet every doctor I know, wishes it were legal, and that they could prescribe it to patients without the fear of losing their medical license.
So it's a two sided coin. Yes, the gov't does tell people that unhealthy things are healthy and it also tells people that healthy things are unhealthy.
