The [internal] documents reveal that Coca-Cola funded the Global Energy Balance Network because it would serve as a ’weapon’ to ’change the conversation’ about obesity amidst a ’growing war between the public health community and private industry' https://t.co/QMKRDZOMsK

When considering the health impact of commercial actors, our minds turn to tobacco. But what is unique about those actors misleading policymakers & the public? Nothing... Asbestos, leaded paint, fossil fuel, sugar-sweetened-beverage & alcohol companies pursue similar tactics...'

Does anyone remember the Australian government’s ‘Life. Be in it.’ fitness campaign? The program ran from 1975 to 1981. Here’s some images from 1977.

#HighVelocityBollocks from Sugary Beverages Industry. Regulate or be damnded.

[Aus For a Sugar Tax @AusSugarTax]

This is what the sugary drinks industry wants you to drink. Their full-sugar products are the aggressively marketed, steeply discounted, and sold in volume.
We need a full set of regulation to take this on.

[Prof Samantha Thomas @Doc_Samantha]

Classic public health case study with industry trying to stop regulation through ‘pledges’ which are unlikely to have a significant impact on reducing harm.

[Mike Bloomberg @MikeBloomberg]

JUUL put itself on the ballot with Proposition C and San Francisco voters overwhelmingly rejected it, forcing JUUL to drop its own campaign. This should embolden other cities and states to take action to protect children's health. https://t.co/AB8WD0Fmgf

Juul knew their plans directly resulted in increased use of their harmful products by teens. And yet, they kept going.

We need quick action to take all flavored e-cigs off shelves including mint and menthol and protect America's youth from this epidemic. https://t.co/3djgvuuQhY
