Here Are All 96 Public Health Organizations Paid By Coca-Cola And Pepsi
Like the tobacco and alcohol industries before, the sugar industry is using its deep pockets to influence policy–and prominent groups are listening.
Some of the most trusted organizations in public health, from Harvard University Medical School to the American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association, are linked by two common donors: Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Together, the industry giants sponsored 96 national health organizations from 2011 to 2015, in addition to money spent on lobbying, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine. Those organizations include many which are dedicated to fighting obesity.
