Comments on: Outrage Over Coca-Cola and AAFP Team Up http://www.twirlit.com/2009/11/24/outrage-over-coca-cola-and-aafp-team-up/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 18:35:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Cynthia1770 http://www.twirlit.com/2009/11/24/outrage-over-coca-cola-and-aafp-team-up/comment-page-1/#comment-7838 Cynthia1770 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 22:50:51 +0000 http://www.twirlit.com/?p=29592#comment-7838 Although Coke owns Minute Maid and Dasani water, the bulk of their products are sweetened with HFCS. Take a look at the CDC chart reflecting obesity vs. per capita consumption of sugar and HFCS. Note that the obesity index really takes off in 1984-1985. You know what happened that year? That was the year the big boys, Pepsi and Coke, switched to HFCS. We have been guzzling that aberrantly cheap industrial sweetener for more than 20 years and we are far fatter and sicker that we were before. Yeah, the AAFP sold out. The alliance will surely turn Faustian. Although Coke owns Minute Maid and Dasani water, the bulk of their products are sweetened with HFCS. Take a look at the CDC
