The Pediatric Association Says That Coca-Cola Is Not Correlated To Childhood Obesity

Coca-cola had conducted and funded a study in 2015 done by the Pediatric Association Academy. They donated millions of dollars and essentially bought scientific results from the Academy. After the research was conducted, the PAA released a public statement saying that Coca-cola's products, soft drinks, do not contribute to childhood obesity. Trying to grow their profits, Coke wanted to promote healthy living by pairing with the PAA. By 2015, the average consumer, who is well informed, is aware that soft drinks are bad for health. However, Coke still has a social and ethical responsibility to tell the truth to the public, instead of buying research from credible medical associations. After this data was released, the Pediatric Association ended its partnership with Coke, but what is only because of the outlash of these obviously biased results? It seems that even the health of a nation can have a price tag put on it.
