Behind...talks at the United Nations and a...document about the need to fight noncommunicable diseases...is a fierce struggle between commercial and health interests...Some of the issues...are the same ones at the heart of...the battle against smoking and the effort to bring AIDS drugs to poor countries. But the stakes here are much bigger...because noncommunicable diseases...are the globe’s biggest health problem...with incidence growing steeply in...low-income, rapidly urbanizing nations...The food industry...for the moment is considered a “partner”...It is a position that has left many activists unsatisfied...Laurent Huber,...who works for an anti-smoking group, said, “The fast-food industry and the junk-food industry...are part of the problem..." ...The bigger issue...was how much to invoke the international trade agreements that...have helped bring...drugs to...people with HIV infection in low-income countries...Many experts and activists interpret [the document]...as evidence that rich countries don’t want their drug companies to be pressured into repricing cancer and heart medicines for the developing world as they were for antiretrovirals.
