Blumenthal arguments and recommendations over consumer protection to Coca Cola Corporation.
When the Coca-Cola company gave its description on “Scientific” answer to the old-age weight loss query, health officials from all over the nation alleged them of sugar-coating their research.
The beverage company sells more than 1.8 billion drinks daily, according to their sales report. Currently funneled $1.5 million from earnings to a nonprofit company that publicizes a sugar-friendly message - exercise and physical activities are the keys to maintain the health.
Steven N. Blair, a well-known personality and Vice President of Global Energy Network, acknowledged about the health problem in a video. He said that the main problem all over the world is that people are getting bulky and fat and the big issue is that they did not even know its cause.
Blair recommends that, although calories are surely the reason, it can be controlled by burning the calories more than the intake. Many healthcare experts, who condemn the research analysis, have several issues to second Blair’s thoughts. They confessed that the research is a step up to encourage people to consume soda at the time when they may differently consider healthier intake habits.
In a letter to the editor of New York Times, Administrative Director at a Massachusetts Clinical Research Centre wrote that Coca Cola activities towards health and science are just to puzzle the American people. Although everybody knows that exercise or physical activities is the best way to burn the calories. Simple math teaches that to decrease something you have subtract, so workout enough to subtract your calories, that is the simple way to burn the excess amount of calories.
A member of the Senate Committee’s Subcommittee over Consumer Protection, Blumenthal, sent a letter to the President of University of West Virginia, which, according to it, is one of the three educational institutions associated to the company’s study. He also requested him to reconsider its partnership and assure their conclusions have not been impacted.
During the press conference by Hartford, Blumenthal states about the sugary drinks and its impact on health, “Overconsumption of sugary drinks is a major driver of obesity, heart disease and diabetes and any attempt by Coca-Cola to purchase research to the contrary is a danger to public health that must be stopped.”
He further treats Coca Cola Company just as tobacco companies, which hired scientists and convince the public to smoke while displaying the public service message that “smoking is injurious to health”. The beverage giant should formulate and reconsider its strategies pertaining to corporate social responsibility and implement in an effective manner.
