Coca-Cola Insider Alleges Secret Payoffs by Food and Drink Firms to Manipulate Health Policy Decisions in Medical Sectors

In a shocking revelation, former Coca-Cola employee Calley Means, now working in the pharmaceutical industry, has accused Big Food and Big Pharma of a sinister collaboration. This alliance, Means claims, is aimed at profiting from symptom-suppressing drugs while concealing the root cause of disease, often linked to junk foods and processed diets.

The alarming facts are hard to ignore. Eighty percent of American adults are overweight or obese, and half have pre-diabetes or diabetes. Yet, public policies fail to address the underlying issues with the American food supply.

Research institutions like the American Diabetes Association (ADA) are under scrutiny for their funding sources. The ADA receives eleven times more funding from the food industry than from the National Institutes of Health, raising questions about potential biases in their stance against sugary drinks. Given that 25% of teenagers are now pre-diabetic, it's crucial for the ADA to take a stronger stance against these products.

The interview with Means reveals that food and beverage companies pay off medical groups to conceal the damaging effects of processed food products in America. Big names like the American Medical Association, American Academy of Diabetes, American Academy of Pediatrics, and American Nutrition Association are among those receiving such funding from companies like Coca-Cola.

This collaboration, Means alleges, extends to manipulating health policies to avoid responsibility for the public health crisis and chronic disease epidemic. There is a deliberate effort to mislead the public on sugar, as seen in the USDA's dietary guidelines that allow up to 10% of a two-year-old's diet to consist of added sugar.

The mass production of inflammatory foods, addictive food flavor experiments, cancer-causing meat preservatives, heart-damaging oils, nutrient-stripped, over-processed products, diabetes-inducing sugar drinks, and food dyes are contributing to the chronic disease epidemic.

To stop this epidemic, food and beverage companies must be reformed, and their influence over regulators needs to be stripped. The public's health should not be compromised for corporate profits. It's time for transparency, accountability, and a shift towards a healthier food system.
