The Vipeholm experiments were a series of human experiments where patients of Vipeholm Hospital for the intellectually disabled in Lund, Sweden, were fed large amounts of sweets to provoke dental caries (1945–1955). The experiments were sponsored both by the sugar industry and the dentist community, in an effort to determine whether carbohydrates affected the formation of cavities.

That’s how ethics goes. It’s fine to give someone something if you don’t know what it’s going to do. Makes it kinda difficult to disprove/ confirm a common belief that something is bad for your health.
