Rethinking revolving door research
Background Business lobbying is a risk to public health. Evidence demonstrates that corporations seek to block, delay and otherwise undermine the development and implementation of policies that they view as threatening to their profits (such as warning labels on alcohol or tobacco taxes). Yet, corporate political influence has proven immensely challenging to study, with data often missing, incomplete or fragmented. This paper is part of a larger …
Following the money in Australian politics
Defining and conceptualising the commercial determinants of health
Lobbying by omission
What is unknown about commercial lobbying is far greater than what is known. These omissions distort our understanding of the extent and nature of business influence on politics. Especially when businesses engage in practices that harm health, it is crucial for public health advocates to understand corporate lobbying to counter its influence. Our study proceeded in three phases. First, based on an international audit, we developed a list of the c…
Taking on the Commercial Determinants of Health at the level of actors, practices and systems
Tackling the Commercial Determinants of Health (CDoH) is necessary for progress on health equity and will determine whether or not the health-related targets of the SDGs are met. We present a simple visual heuristic of three core aspects of CDoH: commercial actors, commercial practices, and system-level dynamics (which commercial actors influence and perpetuate). We use this heuristic to highlight key research gaps, in particular the need for mor…
A proposal for systematic monitoring of the commercial determinants of health
BACKGROUND: The commercial determinants of health include a range of practices to promote business interests, often at the expense of public health. Corporate political practices, such as lobbying and campaign donations, are used to influence policy makers and foster a political and regulatory environment conducive to business interests. Despite recognition of their public health importance, thus far there are relatively few efforts to systematic…
Interdisciplinary insights on the future of food systems research
Our dominant food system is a primary driver of worsening human and planetary health. Held in March 2022, the Public Health Association of Australia’s Food Futures Conference was an opportunity for people working across the food system to connect and advocate for a comprehensive, intersectoral, whole-of-society food and nutrition policy in Australia to attenuate these issues. Conference themes included food systems for local and global good; ecol…
Power and the commercial determinants of health

Nutritional marketing of plant-based meat-analogue products
Objective: To explore how some of the largest food companies involved in producing alternative proteins (AP) use health and nutrition claims to market their products. Design: We identified the largest food manufacturers, meat processors and AP companies selling plant-based AP products in the USA. Using publicly available data, we analysed the voluntary health and nutrition claims made on front-of-pack labels (FOPL) and company webpages. We also a…
Upstream and downstream explanations of the harms of ultra-processed foods in national dietary guidelines
Objective: Dietary advice about the potential health risks of unhealthy foods or diets has historically been communicated in terms of nutrients. Recent evidence has shown that the processing of food itself is independently attributable to harmful outcomes, particularly a new category of foods described to be ‘ultra-processed’. Dietary guidelines (DG) are a key policy tool to translate and communicate nutrition research; however, there is little r…
The politics of voluntary self-regulation
Objective: To analyse the evolution of the soft drink industry’s use of self-regulation as a response to obesity and examine the motivations driving its development and the strategies used to promote it to policy makers. Design: We used a data set of industry documents published by the Australian Beverages Council (ABC) between 1998 and 2016. We analysed how the ABC voiced its political motivations about self-regulation and what internal nutritio…
