Soft Drink Bottles

Soft Drink BottlesSoft drinks and tobacco industry similarities

Recently, it became very clear that manufacturers of soda and other carbonated beverages have little in common with the manufacturers of cigarettes and other tobacco products.

I recently saw a magazine ad, paid for by the Coca Cola Bottling, which was so similar to an announcement that Philip Morris was strange. The full-page ad said that recent studies indicate that for the hydration, the fluid is liquid, then coffee, tea and soft drinks can be replaced by water.

Admittedly, this is something I read in the past, and I'd say you're probably not too bad if you drink fruit juice (real) with moderate amounts of tea or coffee. But soft drink mix in this mix is an incredibly bad idea.

The announcement further stated that the watercourse is best for you, but hey, it's OK if you drink something else (preferably one of their products, of course). In my mind it is so close to the Philip Morris cigarettes are really bad for you and we did not want you to smoke ... we will not stop selling them. " campaign hypocrisy that it gave me goosebumps.

As if people are not educated enough when it comes to nutrition in general and soft drinks are terribly unhealthy for you, here is an announcement of this kind.

Following this announcement, I recently read a newspaper article discussing some studies have linked the massive (no pun intended) of obesity increases the U.S. primarily by higher consumption soft drinks in general and especially soda. Sure, a spokesman for the industry quickly spoke to refute the findings, saying that the cause and effect of obesity is unclear. In other words, more than people who drink soda are obese, but they drink soda because they are obese and this is not the soda that contributed to their obesity.

It's such a stupid statement that it would be laughable if it was a man "the street", but coming from a representative of the soft drink industry is also frightening to me that industry leaders Tobacco denials that cigarettes caused lung cancer back in the 70s.
