Coca-Cola, PepsiCo funded almost 100 health organizations over 5 years
    #23764998 - 10/23/16 06:36 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

he two biggest soda companies in the United States - Coca-Cola and PepsiCo - sponsored a minimum of 96 national health organizations between 2011-2015, a new study reveals.
Cans of Pepsi and Coca-Cola]
At least 96 national health organizations received funding from PepsiCo and Coca-Cola between 2011-2015.

What is more, the study shows the soda giants campaigned against at least 28 public health bills over the same period that aimed to lower soda intake and improve the American diet.

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.

The researchers say their results suggest big drink companies are hampering efforts to improve health and nutrition in the U.S., and they call for health organizations to refuse funding from these companies.

Sugary drink consumption has become a major public health concern in recent years, with links to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

But it seems there are some industries that have long tried to dampen reports of the health risks of these beverages; a study published last month, for example, revealed how the sugar industry accepted money as early as 1965 to mute the link between sugar intake and heart disease.

The new study from Aaron and Dr. Siegel adds fuel to the fire, providing insight into the funding national health organizations have received from soda giants over the past 5 years.
Diabetes organizations accepted funding from Coca-Cola, PepsiCo

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.

Unlike Coca-Cola, PepsiCo does not publish a list of organizations it provides finance to, so the researchers say it is likely that even more health organizations received funding.

The team was surprised to find that the American Diabetes Association and the Diabetes Research Foundation were two of the organizations that accepted funding from the soda companies, given the well-established link between sugary drink intake and diabetes.
A 'corporate marketing strategy that undermines public health'

From their analysis, the researchers also found that Coca-Cola and PepsiCo lobbied against 28 health bills or proposed regulations between 2011-2015, such as proposals to tax sugary drinks.

Coca-Cola spent more than $6 million a year campaigning against health bills and proposals between 2011-2014, the team reports, while PepsiCo spent more than $3 million annually.

Additionally, the researchers found the American Beverage Association - the trade association that "represents America's non-alcoholic beverage industry" - spent $1 million a year lobbying between 2011-2014.

The researchers say - just like previous investigations into the tobacco and alcohol industries - their results suggest the soda industry is using "corporate philanthropy" as a marketing tool to "silence health organizations that might otherwise lobby and support public health measures against these industries."

    "The soda companies can neutralize potential legislative opposition by invoking reciprocity and financial dependence from national health organizations.

    Rather than supporting public health, organizations may become unwitting partners in a corporate marketing strategy that undermines public health."

    Daniel Aaron

Aaron and Dr. Siegel recommend that health organizations refuse sponsorship from the soda industry and seek out alternative funding in order to avoid becoming involved in a corporate marketing strategy.

When you sell toxic shit, you have to make yourself look good by donating at least almost 1% of your annual profits to get positive publicity. Because marketing.

A healthier drink won't have you craving so quick like a drink that is bursting with sugar.

I saw a can of monster with 69g of sugar inside in it.

Their market is also not health conscious people.

Because the vending companies offer like 10 thousand a year to schools for allowing it. 10 thousand a year buys a lot of books, laptops and lovable fat kids.

Fuck this blaming the companies bullshit.
I have a serious lack of respect for people that want to blame a company for their personal failures. 
Drank too much soda and didn't exercise enough?  Your fault, and fuck you for pointing a finger at someone else you disgusting, blame-shifting, low-IQ shitbirds.  It's a modern day witch hunt, and it's painful to watch.

Sanguin3 has a point though, the big companies have the money and power 10 times over to make their shit healthier but they dont.

Pepsi isn't a health drink. Drink wheat grass slurry if that is what you want. Soda is tasty sugary drink that people like. Why would they make it healthy and risk losing customers?

Not really, every time I try diet soda it is horrible. If people want a healthy drink they can buy that, if they want a sugary drink than that should be available too.

Should candy bars, cookies, and ice cream be made healthier or just soda?

Most all people that drink it know its bad for them. I have a pepsi with my lunch and I know it's bad for me, but I like it. I also eat cake and ice cream everyday and sugary breakfast bars too.

They already have a pepsi with 0 sugar. People that want 20g of sugar could just mix it into pepsi 0. Or drink tea, coffee, juice, kombucha, sparkling water...


I don't think the Government should tax sugar either. They have enough tax money and they can't even spend that properly

liberals... think about it, a criminal goes out and commits a crime and liberals say
that he is a product of society, when he tries to kill a cop then the cop is a
murderer that acted as judge, jury and executioner against an innocent man simply
because that cop defended himself, if a civilian defends himself against a criminal
then he too is a criminal and he should have just called the cops instead. children
can no longer defend themselves against bullies in school, those that do defend
themselves against bullies end up suspended and expelled but then they go on their
rants about how bullying is wrong and still punish the victims of bullying

when it comes to the foods we eat it's no different than illicit drugs, liberals
say they want legal drugs an shit but they are eager to vite to restrict what we
can and cannot consume, they want cigarettes banned because they're harmful and
kids could get them, they want vape liquids banned because it could lead to
smoking and the flavors are supposedly marketed to kids. they want to ban soft
drinks, salt, sugars of all kinds and then they still want to convince us that
they want drugs to be legal, in reality, they want everything for themselves while
denying it to everyone else, this includes rights such as free speech and freedom
of religion and no matter what, everything is someone elses fault.


so there you have it, liberals are the problem, they're why there is no personal responsibility

Yeah, but he does have a point. McDonald's and soda sales and shit are at an all-time low than they were compared to before. Probably in 50 more years, these products will be obsolete. They should really consider completely rebranding and changing their formula for food and drinks in order to fit with the times.

Seriously, if McDonald's could find a way to make delicious, healthy fast food and make it available at a super cheap price, people would be lining up for their $4 salmon and quinoa bowls.

Honestly, I crave those juice smoothies way more than I do soda. Nothing feels more refreshing than a fruit smoothie, especially in the summertime.

How is it delusional? Only a billionaire conglomerate like McDonald's could make that price point come true. There are fast food type restaurants nowadays serving this kind of food, but because these restaurants are smaller, they charge a minimum of $7-$10 a plate.

If McDonald's did this type of food on the global scale, they could purchase food in bulk enough quantities to get the price point down really low, and sell it for $4 a plate and still make as much of a profit as they did with their $1 cheeseburgers.

That... is also true. Probably not a good idea then, until sustainable farming goes into effect for seafood. They should figure out a way to farm all seafood to combat the overfishing problem.

If McDonald's sold salmon instead of burgers, Salmon would go extinct within the year.




no they wouldn't, huge tracts of land would be flooded and converted into salmon farms and salmon would become one of the most numerous animals on the planet




Yeah, and when a conglomerate like that backs that sort of project, you know the USDA will become involved and will start subsidizing these products, and eventually salmon will become the cheapest food available out there, like the chicken of the sea.

Swaths of ancient forests will be cleared in Canada to make way for salmon farming. The Canadians would be slowly driven out of their homelands.

And what the fuck happened to personal responsibility? Has the whole world given up on it? Have they all gone mad???




Totally agree. People act as if they don't carry any responsibilities for themselves.
