Coca-Cola, PepsiCo funded almost 100 health organizations over 5 years
Excerpt:
Diabetes organizations accepted funding from Coca-Cola, PepsiCo "Lead author Daniel Aaron and co-author Dr. Michael Siegel, of the Boston University School of Medicine, publish their findings in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Aaron and Dr. Siegel reached their findings by investigating data on which health organizations received funding from Coca-Cola between 2011-2015, as well as what health bills the two soda giants lobbied against. Over the 5-year period, the team identified a total of 96 national health organizations that accepted money from the companies. Of these, 83 accepted money from Coca-Cola, one accepted money from PepsiCo, and 12 accepted money from both companies" http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/313363.php |
mudgie - thanks for the link to the article describing this study. It is an important study that people should read in order to understand the dynamic environment in which potential legislation to improve health must survive in order to change policy and laws. Here is the link for the full study:
http://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S...(16)30331-2/pdf One of the largest issues here is human nature and how it applies to the health debate when funding from a soda company has been provided to a health or human services organization. Here's an excerpt from the study, the sentence in bold is my emphasis: Quote:

I don't doubt that soda is both dangerous and addicting. Yet totally legal and much too influential.

Gees, I wonder why I see conspiracies everywhere...
Thanks for the article and information, Janet! |
My 'art student' daughter sent me this photo a few months back. She took this picture at an art gallery while on a university required field trip to NYC. I'm am an unsophisticated man and not very astute. I can't figure out what the artist was trying to say. Any ideas?

Moderators, you may decide this post is political, but it is news that highlights the impact of the food industry on the health information received in the US.

We'll see whether this is an excellent choice. If this sets up more control of our health system by having a strong presence of soda manufacturers weighing in on policy, this is an epic fail. Regardless of political affiliation or the party currently in power, these types of moves have been going on for many years. It's going to require strong opposition voices if food manufacturers continue to have a say in policy.
