Coke Ginger Designed to Deceive Health Conscious Australians

  • October 31, 2016

The soda and junk food industries are nothing if not persistent. Their sales are plummeting but they continue to devise new ways of ensnaring unwary customers. In Australia, they have reached deep into their bag of tricks and dragged out an ingredient strongly associated with health. CNBC reports that Coke has launched a ginger flavored version of their flagship product.

The greatest coup of the soda manufacturers was convincing millions of people that their sugar laden syrup was an appropriate beverage for any occasion or meal. This masterstroke launched a multi-billion- dollar business and kicked off an obesity epidemic that threatens the entire planet.

The soda industry was equally enterprising when they launched a raft of beverages sweetened with toxins like aspartame and marketed them as “diet” beverages. The success of these products can be measured by shelf space and sales.

Fortunately, the tide is turning against these hazardous beverages. People are more aware of the dangers posed by soda pop and it is impossible to ignoring the health problems that plague the developed world. Unfortunately, the soda industry is unlikely to go down without a fight. They continue to rely on slick marketing and new markets to bolster sales. The soda companies retain considerable influence in the halls of government.

The best way to battle the junk food behemoths is to educate others about their risky products and provide healthful alternatives. The best alternative to water contaminated with aspartame or corn syrup is pure water that has been energized. It can recharge your mitochondria and deep springs are one excellent source. You can also promote structured water through vortexing or cooling it to 39 degrees Fahrenheit.
