From this report in the Guardian (also reported elsewhere), the Sugar industry is putting pressure on Congress to cut funding for the WHO after it recommended that sugar be no more than 10 percent of a healthy diet. Here's an excerpt from the Sugar Association's letter:
"Taxpayers' dollars should not be used to support misguided, non-science-based reports which do not add to the health and well-being of Americans, much less the rest of the world," says the letter. "If necessary we will promote and encourage new laws which require future WHO funding to be provided only if the organisation accepts that all reports must be supported by the preponderance of science."
