Johnston et al’s review of dietary recommendations for sugar:
https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2593601/scientific-basis-guideline-recommendations-sugar-intake-systematic-reviewThey make the same claim. That the evidence is weak. At least they’re not advising what people’s consumption of sugar should be. At least they’re not saying that people like adding sugar, and enjoy heavily sugared soft drinks, so they don’t need to be advised (or shouldn’t be) to reducing their sugar intake (as they do with meat and meat products). And they do admit to a financial conflict of interest.
