Details

• After the American Diabetes Association received a large gift from major manufacturer of sugar-sweetened beverages, its top medical official is claiming that sugar has nothing to do with diabetes.
• In an interview published in todayâ¬(TM)s Corporate Crime Reporter, Richard Kahn, the chief scientific and medical officer with the American Diabetes Association said â¬oeWhat is the evidence that sugar itself has anything to do with diabetes?
• On April 21, the ADA announced a â¬oethree-year, multi-million dollar alliance⬠with Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, which produces sweetened soft drinks that are implicated in the epidemic of obesity and diabetes in the United States.
• Its parent company is Cadbury Schweppes, which is the third largest soft-drink manufacturer in the world, after Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.
• â¬oeSaying that sugar has nothing to do with diabetes is like saying that tobacco has nothing to do with emphysema,⬠said Gary Ruskin, executive director of Commercial Alert.
• There is ample evidence linking diets high in sugar, and sugary drinks, with obesity.
• It's hard to understand why an institution like the American Diabetes Assn would sell out to one of the major junk food drink companies and even spout it's phony logic.
• I hear that when Kahn was asked whether sugary drinks have anything to do with diabetes, he responded â¬oeNo one has a clue of whether they do or donâ¬(TM)t.⬠How can he lie like that when plenty of credible evidence shows the opposite?
• i think that saying sugar has nothing to do with diabetes, is like saying there is no diabetes.
• Commercial Alert's mission is to keep the commercial culture within its proper sphere, and to prevent it from exploiting children and subverting the higher values of family, community, environmental integrity and democracy.
