New CDC Director Supports Soda Industry Science

Snippet:
Newly appointed CDC Director Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald received $1 million in funding from Coca-Cola to combat childhood obesity during her six-year stint as commissioner of Georgia’s public health department
Her Coke-funded anti-obesity campaign focused on exercise. None of the recommendations involved cutting down on soda and junk food, yet research shows exercise cannot counteract the ill effects of a high-sugar diet
Coca-Cola funds more than 90 different medical and health organizations, including the American Diabetes Association and the American Cancer Society. Meanwhile, soda is a major contributor to diabetes, cancer and other chronic diseases
