Coca-Cola Just Paid $1,000,000 To Keep This Hidden From You
They don’t want you to know what’s in there for a very good reason
Coca-Cola has been having a rough time. The company owns Honest Tea, Odwalla, Powerade, Vitamin Water, Simply Orange, and other products marketed to health-conscious consumers. But it is best known for making Coke, a product that is utterly devoid of nutritional value and is often blamed for contributing to the obesity epidemic — an epidemic that is costing hundreds of billions of dollars and causing hundreds of thousands of deaths each year.
With demand for the company’s carbonated and artificially flavored sugar water declining, hope for Coca-Cola’s profitability has been increasingly resting on the brands it markets as healthier alternatives. Bloomberg.com reports that sales of Coca-Cola-owned brands like Honest Tea, Powerade, and Simply Orange are the company’s new profit center.
But there’s a problem.
In October, campaign finance reports revealed that Coca-Cola had secretly contributed more than a million dollars to the fight against GMO labeling in Washington. It took the state’s Attorney General suing the Grocery Manufacturers’ Association (GMA) for what turned out to be an $11 million violation of the state’s campaign finance laws to reveal these secret contributions. But now that the truth has been exposed, some healthy food activists are fighting back.
Andrew Kimbrell, founder of the Center for Food Safety, comments:
Consumers of healthy beverages want to know what’s in their food. By using money from sales of natural brands to secretly fund an anti-choice agenda that deprives consumers of the right to know what they’re eating, Coca-Cola has been betraying the public interest and standing on the wrong side of history.
Honest Tea doesn’t look quite so honest when it’s being used to put an organic face on an alleged money laundering scheme whose goal is keeping you from knowing if your food is genetically engineered.
And what makes matters worse, Honest Tea proudly proclaims throughout their website that they are GMO free — while their parent company is actively working to prevent GMO labeling.
I wrote Coca-Cola asking if they intended to continue funding anti GMO labeling campaigns. The company’s response was to repeat the anti-labeling lobby’s talking points. They told me that Washington’s labeling initiative, I-522, would: “Require tens of thousands of common food and beverage products to be relabeled exclusively for Washington State unless they are remade with higher-priced, specially developed ingredients. The measure will increase grocery costs for a typical Washington family by hundreds of dollars per year.”
These are charges that the nine-time Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper The Seattle Times called “mostly false” and that Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports, flatly rejected. In short, Coca-Cola not only tried to hide their contributions to the anti-labeling efforts in Washington, but they continue to try to deceive people about the actual realities of GMO labeling.
And they’re using sales of Honest Tea, Odwalla, Powerade, Vitamin Water, Simply Orange, and all their other brands, to finance their agenda.

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
I quit drinking soft drinks like Coke a few years ago and watched my blood sugar drop from 200 + to 100 or below.
I also banned soft drinks from my house and my children are reaping the benefits of that decision.
My youngest child has never even had a soda in her life
yeah that you know off. Juice is rigged too…No coodies for you
I guess “The only people who don’t want to disclose the truth are people with something to hide ” Rule doesn’t apply to Corporate Fascist cleptocrats, crooked Banksters and Puppet Politicians
fancy that!
Busta Myth … Bull’s eye! It’s the new “trendy” socialist corporate government, everyone is on the dole, and if you’re not you’re ridiculed and subjugated for not going along with the rest of the treasonous slime.
Better to make good quality tea or coffee
Or a nice organic Smoovie.
Yes, because when one wants a soda some tea or coffee hits the spot. Brilliant logic! Why drive a car which pollutes the atmosphere when one is better to ride a donkey. Hungry for a steak? Well ice cubes made of filtered spring water are far healthier. No friggin kidding some quality tea is better than drinking soda, so is drinking plenty of other things. Thank you for blessing us with your wisdom!
Goes well with a McTrio…
I wont buy coke no more .
or Pepsi or anything like that .I hate Nazi Zionist communist sympathizers. Ill buy bullets instead plus they are healthier for you . duck im going to have a drink of shells mmm crunchy

It should come as no surprise that companies like Coca Cola, Pepsi, and others are putting GMO sugar in sodas, and then calling them natural.
Americans must be stupid because they keep drinking coke with high fructose corn syrup. HFCS is not available in most other countries but yes, Americans are like the sheeple, keep drinking rubbish. No wonder they are so fat.
TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s recap….
Cocoa-Cola (a corporation) sells their primary product to many millions who’s girth increases daily for it. Coke in the biggest picture has no nutritional value, no ethics and no sense of right and wrong. Coke CEO, Muhtar Kent publicly demonstrates that HIS people are spineless sheeple for not publicly outing Kent’s blatant disregard for his customers and fellow human beings by even attempting such a great deceit against a nation, and the global community most of whom buy Mr. Kent’s mislabeled and misleading claims and products.
COKE AND MR. KENT HAVE PROVEN THAT THEY BOTH HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOU AND ME OR ANYONE ELSE.
Bla bla bla ….
Hey! Keep Coke alive!! It is a great toilet bowl cleaner and let’s face it…that is right where it belongs
It’s also good for cleaning the top of your car battery. Gets all that nasty corrosive acid residue right off!
I would like to see that stingy hypocrite Warren Buffett go broke before he dies.
Research telegony (law of first male). Bible forbids fornication and adultery. People are named after angels or saints so that these good guys look after them. If you’re pregnant, keep the kid, but don’t let the kid get Social Security, barcodes, etc. Newborns are micro-chipped in delivery rooms. Kids are nano-chipped during vaccinations. Aborted babies go to hell for 33 and a half years. Contraceptives are early abortion. Mothers who abort have breast cancer. Make-up puts a stain on the image of God. Soda (Pepsi, etc.), Cosmetics (make-up, etc.), vaccines, anti-cancer, and anti-aging products all have special ingredient: cells of aborted fetuses. So, don’t use make-up and don’t drink Soda. Antichrist is pale with red eyes and flies because he’s possessed by Satan. Don’t go into a UFO to be healed by demons. God gives you a name during baptism. Devil gives you an anti-name during anti-baptism. Barcode is Druid black magic curse and a form of mark of the beast just like Social Security. People who took any number (which is an anti-name given during anti-baptism by the beast) on documents or in computer go to temporary hell; but those who receive green 666 (given with world passport with no name on it) on forehead or wrist go to permanent hell. How not to go to hell? Give back all these anti-name anti-baptism documents back to the beast by writing to appropriate authorities. If authorities refuse to cancel these anti-names, then write again (up to three times). If you wrote to the gov’t three times about it, but gov’t refused, then God will not send you to hell. Pray the Jesus prayer. Ask your local Orthodox Christian priest for more info. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael.
Corn Syrup or HFCS is obviously made from corn which is 85% or higher chance of being GMO.
So there you have it. Good article. Thank you!!
I don’t think Coke is good for us, but Chemtrails make coke look like aspirin compared to morphine.
I do not drink pop, I drink cannabis tea!
Coca Cola was made for the troops during WW1, to keep them awake. Today there is not one high energy drink that can top COKE… why? You guess… its not that hard. But to be honest, I’m a 50′s baby boomer…and Coke is it. SOrry every now and then I drink a Coke. Coke is not that bad… but if you drink it everyday, hour, min of your life…like all that is addicting, Desserts, Fried foods, salty spicy food, high cholesterol seafood, other great tasting food… you will get sick, and too much of a good thing will kill you. Just use common sense.. don’t over indulge.
