pharmaceutical and processed food companies......Between 1985 and 1990, the
Department of Biochemistry which Marks heads at Surrey University received over
half a million pounds in grants from Wellcome....He is one of the most
influential founder members of the Campaign Against health Fraud; his presence
on MAFF and MRC committees gave him access to powerful agencies which CAHF were

colleagues with lucrative grant-funding from the large food processing, chemical
and pharmaceutical companies. For his own research work, Marks is adept at
choosing funding bodies and has become an influential and experienced grant
receiver from many powerful sources. Over the last ten years, he has received
major grants from such diverse sources as the Cancer Research
Campaign, the
pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, the Institute of Food Research at Norwich (AFRC)
and the American National Institutes of Health....Vincent Marks' ongoing links
with the sugar industry have been well documented. The Company
