The Pause That Distresses
I happen to think that the evils of sugary soft drinks have probably been a wee bit overblown, but even at that it's a little hard to believe that the American Academy of Family Physicians would create a "corporate partnership" with Coca-Cola that's designed to "develop consumer education content related to beverages and sweeteners" in return for a six-figure fee. And yet they did.
I'm not surprised they did this, mind you. I'm just surprised they sold out so cheaply. Seems like this ought to be worth at least a million bucks or so.
Didn't M.D.'s also endorse cigarettes
once upon a time? They're probably the same mien of "doctor" who claim carbon dioxide is just a natural, harmless gas. They all have a price. Where do you think all those "experts" come from when lawyers need shills for their side of a legal case?
Believe any of them at your own risk.

My guess is that most of
My guess is that most of these "doctors" were white, male, and middle class. Certainly not anyone worth of the title "liberal", "progressive" or worth of our attention as anything other than someone that should be a source of tax revenues.
Fucking white males.

Six figures versus millions: This is a sign that recession has started to hit home.
Once corporations figure it out
six figures will look like the tip of the iceberg. Next in line are Hostess cupcakes, Campbell's soup, Ballpark franks, McDonalds, Red Bull, Baskin Robbin's, Applebee's, etc.
The comment two comments
The comment two comments above was not mine, and I for one, am shocked, shocked that identity fraud would be permitted on the MoJo comments.

We apologize again for the fault in the anonymous comments. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.
No reform necessary!
Will be interesting to see if the dentists get on board as well.
It looks win-win to me.
It looks win-win to me. Diabetes patients don't grow on trees, you know. Yet. Plus, they're easy to treat - no thought required. They also tend to be on private insurance, and die before one has to deal with those pesky discounts. Kinda like smokers, but that racket wasn't so good, in retrospect. Hm.
"...a wee bit overblown"??
"...a wee bit overblown"?? the equivalent of ten teaspoons of sugar in a pop can?
A little orange stroke grenade
I've just discovered that every little candy pumpkin contains five grams of sugar.
Five grams!
It's like a stroke grenade. A little orange stroke grenade.
(Sugar erodes your cardiovascular system leading to heart disease and stroke.)

Jesus, what an asshole. So stop mainlining them on Halloween douchebag.
POE. OPE!

Now I'm confused. Is sugar
Now I'm confused. Is sugar bad again? I thought high fructose corn syrup took over as the bad guy, and sugar is now preferred.
And isn't bio-engineering in there too? Sigh. Keeping current on which food is the evil demon straight from Satan is difficult.

it's the insulin more than sugar itself
I saw recent articles about how high insulin levels increase risk for prostate and breast cancer.
And, now that I'm thinking about it, it wasn't sugar but the insulin that degrades the cardiovascular system suggesting that diabetes is the immune system trying to kill the source of the cardiovascular problem.
Higher insulin levels makes
Higher insulin levels makes for stupid babies,

Much More Than A Million
The agreement between AAFP and Coca-Cola is for "strong six figures" per year. Not a one-time payment unless one of the parties decides to opt out.
