Health experts urge Olympics to cut ties with Coca-Cola

The "sugar free" drinks are more dangerous than the sugar ones.

Coca Cola is one of the worlds worst companies:

“Since the 1990s Coca-Cola has been accused of unethical behavior in a number of areas, including product safety, anti-competitiveness, racial discrimination, channel stuffing, distributor conflicts, intimidation of union workers, pollution, depletion of natural resources, and health concerns.”

Maybe that's why the Olympics organisers love Coca Cola so much. "Birds of a feather."

“Since the 1990s Coca-Cola has been accused of unethical behavior in a number of areas, including product safety, anti-competitiveness, racial discrimination, channel stuffing, distributor conflicts, intimidation of union workers, pollution, depletion of natural resources, and health concerns.”

And yet almost none of that has to do with health concerns.

You want unhealthy (but darn good), try the North American corn syrup coke. Deposits excess sugar into fat... in your liver.

OK. Health concerns:

“A single 330ml can of cola can contain up to 35 grams of sugar – which means you're consuming up to nine teaspoons of sugar.”

The problem is that the health experts mistakenly think the Olympic organizers care about sports, health or ecologic impact. Unless they can make a point about economic or political profit they are not going to convince anyone to do anything.

If you drink Coke with every meal, snack time, and when you're bored, yes, it's a bad drink. If you have with your weekly pizza or as a treat after mowing the lawn in the heat, it's not going to affect you in any dangerous degree. It's a good drink once or twice a week. Now, beer with every meal, snack time, etc., that would be really much worse.

Indeed, and something else that is not very well known is that Coca Cola and other similar companies fund a considerable amount of "scientific" research related to diet.

The problem is that the health experts mistakenly think the Olympic organizers care about sports, health or ecologic impact.

But they designed the Olympic village to be ecofriendly and aircon-free; and they offered a primarily vegan menu. Both of these blew up in their faces...

Another problem is that many people mistakenly think that the health (or environmental) "experts" care about health or ecologic impact.

Nothing beats an ice-cold Coke after an intense session of sports and physical activity. Except maybe a beer, but sometimes you have to drive.

Another problem is that many people mistakenly think that the health (or environmental) "experts" care about health or ecologic impact.

So every single health and environmental scientist is corrupt. And everyone has kept the secret. Got it.

Which is not a problem this is well know to science professionals and do not automatically make those studies wrong, open COIs can be translated to considerations of bias, not to being wrong.

When the reports are demonstrably wrong (as the one you recently brought) then those COIs are a very good explanation why the authors published wrong "science", not before. This applies specially well when the COIs are hidden as in your case.

But they designed the Olympic village to be ecofriendly and aircon-free; and they offered a primarily vegan menu. Both of these blew up in their faces..

Because someone could make a point to economic or political profit, these health experts unfortunately tried to make a point about gains on public health or ecologic benefits.

Another problem is that many people mistakenly think that the health (or environmental) "experts" care about health or ecologic impact.

There is nothing mistaken thinking this, outside of deeply irrational antiscientific propaganda groups nobody believes the impossible global conspiracies that say the opposite.

Will the wokeness ever end?

Go woke or go Coke.

Will the wokeness ever end?

For you, it will never, ever end.

Go woke or go Coke.

Nice :)

WOW breaking news... 40 years ago

When I went to a restaurant in USA with a Japanese colleague, he complained that every single drink was loaded with sugar. He was right. And just look at that photo above.

The IOC will get right on that the moment after the voluminous checks stop clearing.
