Coca-Cola Caught Paying ‘Health Leaders’ to Say Soda is ‘Healthy Snack’
Let's not let them fool anyone
Latest News
Would you like a healthy dose of high-fructose corn syrup with that organic salad? If you’re listening to one of the ‘health experts’ on the payroll of Coca-Cola, this suggestion could in fact be a reality. According to a new report, many health writers, bloggers, and spokespeople are being compensated in order to push toxic soda onto the public as a health drink.
The news comes as somewhat of a shock, only due to the severity of these claims. We’ve known for quite some time that many bloggers are, oftentimes quite obviously, paid off by mega food corporations to spit out propaganda into Google and other search engines in order to divert attention away from more negative stories. In fact, some companies are paying millions to ‘clean up’ their food image on the web.
After all, it’s disconcerting to see results regarding the deadly effects of high-fructose corn syrup (which has recently been renamed) when searching about information on Coca-Cola’s many effects on the body.
Released by the Associated Press, a new report has been made public regarding the deep relationship between beverage giant Coca-Cola and the numerous ‘health experts’ who recently suggested that drinking Coke could be part of a ‘healthy diet.’ Best of all, this was in celebration of American Heart Month in February. From the report:
“In February, several of the experts wrote online posts for American Heart Month, with each including a mini-can of Coke or soda as a snack idea. The pieces — which appeared on nutrition blogs and other sites including those of major newspapers — offer a window into the many ways food companies work behind the scenes to cast their products in a positive light, often with the help of third parties who are seen as trusted authorities.”
Pushes for the consumption of Coke in numerous ways from these ‘experts’ ranged from switching to ‘healthy mini cans of Coke’ to enjoying the full sized ‘refreshing beverage.’ Better yet, the AP story found that numerous other food corps like PepsiCo had even been paying other ‘health leaders’ and dietitians to recommend eating Frito-Lay and Tostito chips.
Certainly very healthful.
As always, it’s essential to remember the true nature of what makes your food ‘healthy.’ It’s not all about calories and macros, it’s about ingredients. When you’re consuming mercury-laden high-fructose corn syrup with your 30 grams of sugar in the average soda product, you’re damaging your body.

Very interesting. The only ones who won’t entertain this possibility are the gov’t and GMO supporters blinded by the lies from big business.
Yuck, because I’m not sure how to spell “ech.” This stuff is way too sweet for my liking, and I stopped drinking any types of soda other than natural or organic a long time ago and seldom drink those. Now, it is mostly water. Besides, sugar has now been found to be the culprit in cardio-vascular diseases instead of fats. If you must drink Coke, then, drink its Mexican cousin. In Mexico, it is against the law to use the artificial ingredients the US allows, and, so, real sugar is still better than high fructose corn syrup. (Also, beware of the new names they are coming up with to hide the old poisons.) This type of Coke is becoming so popular it is sometimes hard to find. Ralph’s sells it. Von’s sells it. Bristol farms sells it, and many mini-marts and take out restaurants also sell it. It is sold by the bottle, glass bottle, and is labeled, “Hecho en Mexico.” There is also other writing in Spanish on it. We call it Mexi-Coke. It even tastes better. But, again, I would caution everyone to drink any sugary drinks in moderation. Oh, and, here’s tip, when your body tells you it is craving sugar, what it actually is saying is that it is thirsty, for water. So, the next time you get a craving for sweets, have some water, some really good spring water, and notice how that sugar craving disappears.
You just can’t beat ice cold well water. I don’t know where that slogan came from “the pause that refreshes”. I never found sodas refreshing. Just made me want a drink of water.

WOW
Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if GMO Roberts is a plant here on your blogs. He certainly does nothing but tout all the poisonous foods from these big multinationals. He is a real troll. I am sure he will be attacking this story or my post as soon as he gets wind of it.
I think he has several names. Farm Pro? sounds just like him too. These thick headed corporations are losing customers that just can’t eat there crap any more because of allergies and such. Along with unsheepled parents that are now refusing to eat there shit because of all the monies spent fighting labeling.
Got to give GMO Roberts some credit, he sure is a die hard shill.
So true !

A cohort sent me this blog today. Anthony, this could be worth a follow up on. It’s a no brainer why our reefs are in distress, but since the Banksters took down Russia, Cuba was forced to go organic. What could the side effect of this be?? There reefs are thriving!
Sorry, this is the only name I have ever used on this site.
Didn’t I tell you- pretty pathetic- all he does is troll around these sites using different aliases and harassing the posters. He is also truly paranoid and can’t stand not getting the last word in. He is really a joke. Let’s see how long it takes for him to respond to this post. Can’t stand anyone putting down where he belongs.
You just can’t handle it can you johnny? Anyone that doesn’t agree with you must be a plant. So sad. That is why you can’t even have an intelligent conversation. You first off have to get over that hurdle. As far as coke? All that sugar can’t be good for you. Taken in moderation it probably isn’t the end of the world, but like most things we over consume.
I have no problems here troll. Nobody has been bad mouthing me here. You on the other hand have had a barrage of hate and discontent heaved your way. You never give up even after all the valid abuse sent to you. Don’t you realize you’re not welcome here. Give it up buddy. No one is falling for your tactics. Everyone here knows you’re a troll.
Sorry, never will johnny. It is my past time. It takes very little time out of my day. I can turn the other cheek to your lies and abuse, because after all the truth I speak is worth spreading.
Well I am glad you finally admitted what you’re really here to do-witnessed by all here.
I’ve never denied that I’m here to counter your gmo lies with the truth according to science, and that I do so of my own free will on my own time. I don’t know how many times I have to tell you, but I will keep doing so Johnny old pal.
Chemical boy! The only liar here is GMO ROBERTS
LOL, you think that anyone that disagrees with you is lying? This is why labeling has been voted down every time when actually put to a vote. When people actually learn the facts they see through your lies.
Chemical boy, people disagree all the time! My concern is that you lie all the time.
What did I lie about Kimmie? I have not lied at all.
John, of course he’s a plant ! He now has gone to a private profile so others can’t track him! The best any of us can do is flag all of his and corn pros posts.
Yeah I wondered about that. A real coward who hides behind anonymity.
John, also remember to down vote and go to any discussion on gmos, because he will be there.
I try – yes he is the consummate pest . He must have been one of those trouble makers at school that the teachers always had to tell to keep quiet .
I really believe that he was a quiet one who was picked on and now has a job and computer with Monsatan.
Yeah if he wasn’t such an antagonist and trouble maker you could almost feel sorry for him……………..not
This coming from someone that doesn’t even know what kind of a country they live in?
You need to get off that tread mill Sammy. That ploy is getting old. Time to come up with some fresh come backs. I guess when you have nothing really important to say you’ll say just about anything to hide your ignorance.
Not knowing basic information about our country is getting old? That is just sad John Boy. It seems you can’t handle that point.
I’m everywhere Kimmie!!
And nowhere Sammy!!
Chemical boy, just like the manure you spread here!
Oh, Kimmie you sound jealous.
