Coke and Pepsi Promote Health!
Big Soda Makers Tackling Nutrition Research Questions? Hmm...

I’m getting lots of e-mails about Coca-Cola's co-sponsorship of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's HeartTruth Red Dress campaign to increase women's awareness of their risk for heart disease. You can find out more about Diet Coke's sponsorship on the Coca-Cola website.
Here’s my favorite line in the news release: “Participation by Coca-Cola does not imply endorsement by DHHS/NIH/NHLBI." Really? I'll bet Coke hopes people will think it does.
But that's not all. The American Dietetic Association (ADA) is partnering with Pepsi. Pepsi, it says, "will work with ADA to develop consumer and professional education programs, and tackle nutrition research questions."
How’s that for unbiased?
