coca-cola well what do you want this company when you want coca-cola to end their deceptive marketing practices they have spent $120000000.00 in 5 years between 201-2015 falsely advertising their products. the multinational retaliated by accusing the pastors of freedom of speech violations. and after suing for legal expenses a threat with several $1000000.00 coca-cola now demands that the case be dropped. coca-cola statement. the allegations here are likewise legally and factually meritless and we will vigorously defend against them. the allegations are that coca-cola misled. out the science of sugar sweetened beverages because several of their executives were in the press and made statements like there is no link between sugar sweetened beverages and. we know that is not the

case. whenever the soft drink industry is in the dark it adopts the same line of defense just. had to explain. to me. it's a. complete sort of it. all . the rhetoric is so smooth that it seems like a broken record. just because some research shows you know have shown between their consumption of sugary beverages and visiting. that. questions and we meant different researchers many of them compare the fight against the consumption of sugar. of tobacco why do you.
8:32 am
know. it's. true for 20 years the soft drink industry has denied any link between its products and disease to maintain the illusion it employs all sorts of methods. since 2015 leaks has revealed that the lobby puts pressure on journalists keeps discredit on studies it dislikes finances favorable research and with political leaders. to ensure those results contact was established within the senate we will actively campaign to register that it's. off doing tax is discriminatory regressive and will not address the challenge of obesity we have commissioned the economic institute to complete a study which will prove inefficiency of such tax it will be ready in 15 days which will give us another tool to communicate both to the media and to avoid it gains

8:34 am
whereas among all the studies that found that there was an association between the consumption of soda and sugary beverages and obese and diabetes except for one were independently funded so we now know and there's other evidence that industry has been. influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment to create controversy over the question of whether their products cause disease. the junk food industry is cornered all over the globe activists are demanding tighter legislation. to protect consumers the battle has now become political. in the 30 years since warning labels and other forms of regulation were placed on tobacco. over 1000000000 the lives have been saved thanks it's

a pretty good day at the office for people who make policy. illegal cohen and one of her fellow supervisors have made san francisco the 1st u.s. city to declare war on sugary sodas. when people realize how much sugar they are consuming in one can of soda they stop and they think so we had testimony right here in this chamber of doctors of nurses of researchers that talk to us about the effects of sugar in our body and it was through these ongoing dialogues for years that we came up with that idea to begin to tax. imposing a tax is virtually revolutionary in the united states the industry reached its sad speech the line that the government was interfering with grocery shoppers
8:36 am

a big show to end street target and hurt our community. the tax was finally voted in but the victory was bitter. when san francisco moved to require health warnings on soda containers like the ones on cigarettes the soft drink lobby sued once again and won on appeal. the warning labels were shelved. the same method had been used in new york city mayor michael bloomberg suggested along limiting the size of jumbo so those sold in restaurants. bloomberg was mocked as a scolding and the courts ruled in the industries favor. in this faceoff between corporate freedom and consumer protection freedom once again
