The article focuses on the concerns over the influence of various industries, such as food, alcohol, and tobacco, on health policies as the United Nations (UN) General Assembly prepares a special summit for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which will be held on September 19-20, 2011 in New York. It says that draft documents for the summit have stopped circulating as member states are divided on key issues such as resources for the prevention and control of NCDs, access to vaccines and medicines, and the control of risk factors. According to the said industries, stricter health policies would lead to job losses. Moreover, the insights of several people over the issue are presented including Indra Nooyi of PepsiCo Inc., professor Richard Smith, and Norwegian Ambassador Morten Wetland.
