Coca-Cola says its drinks don't cause obesity. Science says otherwise

These days, you almost have to feel sorry for soda companies. Sales of sugar-sweetened and diet drinks have been falling for a decade in the United States, and a new Gallup Poll says 60% of Americans are trying to avoid drinking soda. In attempts to reverse these trends and deflect concerns about the health effects of sugary drinks, the soda industry invokes elements of the tobacco industry’s classic playbook: cast doubt on the science, discredit critics, invoke nanny statism and attribute obesity to personal irresponsibility.

Casting doubt on the science is especially important to soda makers. Overwhelming evidence links habitual consumption of sugary drinks to poor health. So many studies have identified sodas as key contributors to chronic health conditions – most notably obesity, type-2 diabetes and coronary artery disease – that the first thing anyone trying to stay healthy should do is to stop drinking them.

Everything is ok in moderation( you know what I mean, I'm not talking about drugs and such). People like to blame their problems on any drink that isn't using cane sugar and has 1/2 calories and such. I would be willing to bet a lot of these people drink soda with other things as well.

I agree soda is bad and that's why I only have a root beer float every so often.

the table is not quite accurate.
sweeteners are generally safe.
ex. Aspartame.

"Most studies in people have not found that aspartame use is linked to an increased risk of cancer. "

"FDA finds no reason to alter its previous conclusion that aspartame is safe as a general purpose sweetener in food."

"Overall, the Panel concluded, on the basis of all the evidence currently available… that there is no indication of any genotoxic or carcinogenic potential of aspartame and that there is no reason to revise the previously established ADI for aspartame of 40 mg/kg [body weight]." (European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) )

As a big fan of Coke I find this thread reprehensible and an obvious smear attack on the greatest drink ever created.

Nothing to see here folks, Coke is a great company and I think you guys look a little thirsty, how about a cool, refreshing, thirst-quenching, reinvigorating Coke?


Furthermore....Pepsi is the real villain....I mean, it IS sweeter, go after them and leave Coke alone.

Coca Cola does not cause obesity, you people sitting on your asses without doing shit about it causes obesity. Yes, it has sugary content. No, that doesn't make it a cause of obesity. I really don't see the point of playing the blame game with this shit.

Maybe because there are way too many fake researches going on and it would be too much of a hassle to sue them all? Bonus points if we include all the pointless researches that goes on as well.

This is exactly what I was going to post. It has nothing to do with the sugar. It has to do with the fact that people are less active now and also drink way more than they should. Even having a single can of soda a day wouldn't cause obesity.

Ironically undereating if done too few calories a day somtimes causes weight gain too. So does a lot of diet sodas which actually baffles scientists.

well coca-cola by itself doesn't cause obesity...drinking it in excess and eating lots of sugary and fat food does.
of course there's a correlation between drinking coca-cola and obesity because people who drink lots of coca-cola are also usually the ones who eat lots of fatty and sugary foods

Well of course you're going to get fat if all you do is sit and watch TV/play video games and consume massive amounts of soda/fatty foods without any exercise. Coke doesn't cause obesity. A non-active lifestyle does.

The study implies if you lead an active lifestyle you won't get fat from soda, isn't always true. Not everybody has the same body chemistry.

Gatorade was meant for after hardcore exersion, and to maintain performance like during a sporting even, not as a regular beverage. The type of exercise where you are low on salts, and physically need to keep going. In this sense it isn't empty calories like soda always is. If you are trying to control weight you shouldn't drink gatorade. If you drink gatorade or some other drink like it you will gain weight just like If you drink soda, it's not as bad per oz but pretty close.

If I was in America I would avoid CC because they put they high fructose corn syrup trash in it. Or maybe pay impoverished Mexicans / Canadians to smuggle the real stuff over the border. I don't drink a lot of it but you know, one has standards. Also I avoid those gross plastic bottles, it isn't coke unless it's in glass. No rly the difference is amazing.

Btw Coke, drinking it fequently does make you a fatso, next thing you'll be telling us nine out of ten doctors recommend it. It's not 1957 you lying fucks.
