1:34 pm
because several of their executives went out 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 gonna be hard to explain. to me. it's a. complete horror sort of it. all for us. the rhetoric is so small that it seems like a broken record attempt to be ok just because some research shows you know or have shown between their consumption of sugary beverages and visiting. that. there are many. different. questions and we read different
1:35 pm
researchers many of them compare the fight against the consumption of sugary beverage to the sides of tobacco what do you. know. it's a very motherly. through 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 coca leaks has revealed that the lobby puts pressure on journalists keeps discredit on studies it dislikes finances favorable research and hobnobs with political leaders. to ensure those results contact was established within the senate we will actively campaign to register that as. off drink tax is discriminatory regressive and will not address the challenge of obesity we have commissioned the economic institute to complete

1:37 pm
these studies we found that every study that found that there was no association between sugary beverage consumption and obese in diabetes was funded in some way by the industry. 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. to junk food industry is cornered all over the globe activists are demanding tighter legislation. to protect consumers the battle has now become political.
1:38 pm
in the 30 years since warning labels and other forms of regulation were placed on tobacco. over 1000000000 of wives have been saved thanks to that's a pretty good day at the office for people who make policy. only a 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're 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 sugary beverages. imposing a tax is virtually revolutionary in the united states. industry reached
1:39 pm
its ads pitch the line that the government was interfering with grocery shoppers. feeding a family is difficult enough in today's economy now some politicians want the government telling me how i should do it they want to put new taxes on a grocery side by the beverage the sugary beverage and history came out they hired lawyers they hired lobbyists they found people within the community to come out and say please don't tell us what to eat or what to drink this is not a nanny state we want to make decisions on our own they spent millions of dollars as a matter of fact they outspent us almost $6.00 to $1.00 to me a break i can just side what to buy without government help the government is just getting too involved in our personal lives tell the community government is to dream it's going to click. health advocates were able to mobilize citizen protests against the recalcitrant industry we're going to. visit doctors and politicians
