Lawsuit Alleges Coca-Cola Covered up Soft Drink Health Threats

It is time for Coca-Cola to take responsibility for the damage they have wrought. Coke may be a joke but there is nothing funny about the scourge of obesity-related disease that is enveloping the planet. Perhaps they will finally be held responsible. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a lawsuit has been filed against the beverage giant for covering up the dangerous nature of their product.

There is never a reason to drink soda. It is sugary slurry that is entirely detrimental to your health. The diet versions are free of sugar but full of toxic sweeteners. Any and all soda is truly deleterious to your health.

Coke has made millions despite selling a product entirely bereft of value. Coke’s greatest coup was convincing millions that their sugar-laden syrup was an appropriate beverage for any occasion. This masterstroke launched a multi-billion dollar business and wrecked the lives of millions.

Fortunately, the tide has turned sharply against these hazardous beverages, but the soda industry is unlikely to go down without a fight. They rely on slick marketing and new markets to bolster sales. The soda companies retain considerable influence in the halls of government, but a successful lawsuit against Coke would be a huge victory for our collective health.

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.
