Soda giants fund health groups but fight them too

By Agence France-presse in New York | China Daily | Updated: 2016-10-14 08:02

Coca-Cola and Pepsi, the two major US soda giants, have given millions of dollars to health organizations while quietly fighting anti-obesity measures such as taxes on soft drinks, a new study shows.

The Coca-Cola Co and PepsiCo, from 2011 to 2015, sponsored 96 national health organizations battling public health problems such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease, said the research published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

During the same period, the two companies lobbied against 29 public health bills intended to reduce soda consumption or improve nutrition.

"These companies lobbied against public health intervention in 97 percent of cases, calling into question a sincere commitment to improving the public's health," said the study's authors Daniel Aaron and Michael Siegel of Boston University.

"By accepting funding from these companies, health organizations are inadvertently participating in their marketing plans."

Most of the recipients of the companies' largesse were private organizations, while some were part of the US federal government, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Coca-Cola recently revealed it had spent more than $120 million since 2010, financing scientific studies, partnerships with groups fighting obesity and lobbying.

According to The Center for Responsive Politics - an independent, nonprofit organization - PepsiCo on average has spent $3 million a year on lobbying since 2011.

By supporting health organizations, the companies are trying to improve their goodwill image with the public to distract from their lobbying efforts, the study claimed.

However, for Keith-Thomas Ayoob, a dietitian and professor at Yeshiva University, the source of the funding is not as important as what is done with it.

"I think there is a place for proper funding from industries," he said.

"I am only concerned that the findings go toward the efforts that benefit consumers."
