SOFT DRINK GIANT Coca Cola has spent millions funding scientists who argue that people should not cut down on their calorie intake.
A New York Times story published yesterday reported that the American arm of the company spent as much as $1.5 million on the launch of the Global Energy Balance Network (GEBN). The network’s scientists endorse the idea that removing fast food and soft drinks from your diet would not help fight obesity.
Instead, the company wanted researchers to argue that working out more could counter the effects of a bad diet.
One of the founders of GEBN, Steven Blair, argues that “fitness trumps fatness” in a number of videos.

Nothing fishy about this at all.
