The Million Dollar Secret Coca-Cola Doesn't Want You to Know (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

(N.Morgan) Coca-Cola has had a prominent part of America’s history since 1886 and has been a trusted product among consumers for many decades.

Lately, however, Coca-Cola has been caught trying to hide certain elements of their products and their contents and have paid big bucks to keep these secrets hidden.

The company owns several different drinks including Honest Tea, Odwalla, Powerade, Vitamin Water, Simply Orange, and other products which are aimed to appeal to the health-conscious consumers.

It’s biggest and most well known product of course is Coca-Cola, a product that completely lacks any nutritional value and is often blamed for contributing to the growing obesity epidemic — an epidemic that is costing hundreds of billions of dollars and causing hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. 

Campaign finance reports, released in October 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.

Now that the truth has been exposed, some health activists are fighting back.

Andrew Kimbrell, founder of the Center for Food Safety, states:

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.

We at the Food Revolution Network agree. And we have launched a petition on Change.org that calls for Coca-Cola to stop funding anti GMO labeling campaigns. Coca-Cola’s CEO, Muhtar Kent, says, “We have… provided a tremendous amount of choice to people.”

But when it comes to the right to know if your food was genetically engineered, Coca-Cola wants to keep you in the dark.

According to reports, Honest Tea co-founder Seth Goldman said as recently as September that “after internal discussions,” Coca-Cola wouldn’t be “directly” funding efforts to defeat I-522.

Evidently Coca-Cola believed that illegally laundering money through the Grocery Manufacturers’ Association would keep their involvement a secret.

Honest Tea doesn’t live up to its name 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 or not.

To make matters worse, Honest Tea proudly proclaims on their website that they are GMO free — while their parent company is vigorously working to prevent GMO labeling.

Food Revolution 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. Food revolution was told 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.

So basically, Coca-Cola has 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.

They are using sales of Honest Tea, Odwalla, Powerade, Vitamin Water, Simply Orange, and all their other brands, to finance their agenda.

Fortunately as informed consumers, we are now aware of this farce and can avoid these products all together.

The video below also exposes some of the unhealthy and not so flattering secrets Coca-Cola has also been trying to deflect the public from knowing.

      -REVISED CONFIGURATION-

      MASSIVE FALSE FLAG CYBER ATTACK TO COVER UP COLLAPSE OF FIAT DOLLAR.

      ENDGAME DECODED:
      7/21/16: ORDO AB CHAO
      •2+0+16=18=”666″& 9 =”CHAOS”
      •(21)=”777″ number of destruction & deception.
      •777+666=1443=12=3

      MDCCLXXVI DECODED:
      MDC=1600, CLX=160, XVI=16;
      •The 16′s above added & multiplied together =”777″ & “666″.
      •777+666=1443=12=3
      •1+7+7+6=21=3 &”777″

      “1776 is the Beginning year in which man is placed above God through exceeding sinfulness of sin.” -Illuminati

      “777″ is important b/c the Antichrist will use this number to deceive nonbelievers into thinking he is the messiah.

      Seven is also used w/ respect to judgment from the book of Revelation. The sequence of the 7 seals, the 7 trumps and the 7 bowl judgments.

      “3″ representing the Holy Trinity. Number 3 associated w/ the triangle by its geometrical form & perceived as the Eye of God in the center of pyramid on the fiat dollar.

      These luciferian psychopaths make a mockery of everything. The world is their STAGE. They’re “Free” & we’re their “Mason’s”.

      Revelation 13:18; “Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”

      Gematria value for Speaker of The House ‘Paul Ryan’ adds up to “36″. “666″ is the sum of the first 36 natural numbers.

      “666″ is a number key Jesus himself gave us to help reveal this future deceiver of the world. Its recorded in Revelation 13:16-18.

      God is not human, so he does not lie. Also, no number is assigned to the Lord Almighty.

      Long Live The Freedom Fighter.

      ‘The Great Tribulation’ is unfolding right on schedule. This 3 1/2 years will begin in summer as Christ noted;

      “”When the fig tree puts forth its leaves, we know summer, and therefore the end of this age, is near.

      And we know that Trumpets, heralding the coming of Christ, occurs at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.”"

      Initially, I was wrong & misinterpreted scripture. Fig trees bud during the summer in June & July, not the spring.

      Matthew 24:32;
      “Learn a parable of the fig tree. When its branches bud & leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.”

      The “FIG TREE SIGN” is the best indicator that (Yahweh) Christ’s return is not far away.

      “Michael told Daniel that it would last….1230 days. John heard the angel say also “3 1/2 years” (“a time”: 1 year, “times”: 2 years, and “half a time”: 6 months).”

      The exact day our ‘Lord & Savior’ returns is unknown.

      Matthew 24:42;
      “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”

      The Force Has Awaken. America Is Mystery Babylon The Great.

      Matthew 24:37;
      “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”

        May I suggest NOT using the same shrink as geir, it isn’t working out for him either.

    • DennisB

      The Anunnaki have been trying to get rid of the humans off this rock for thousands of years. They used us and they do not need us any longer…. They did give us BEER. :lol:

      The GOD of Beers. Available in Enlil Lite, Anunnaki Regular, and Enki Dark. Get some today and get it chilled for this weekend. Serve the very best…The GOD of Beers.

    • HfjNUlYZ

      Lets get real, signing petitions is just non-effective. YOU MUST BOYCOTT the product or products. If you hurt them financially, they will respond. :lol:

      • Gryphon

        @ DennisB
        Done. (You couldn’t pay me to drink that poison.)

        • Gryphon

          OOPS!
          @ Anatolian

          Was wanting to respond to you too, DennisB…
          Brilliant! Heheh…

          • DennisB

            Hi Gryphon,

            I need to give credit to Syco247….He inspired me a few days ago.

    • Eggzactly

      Coca Cola was invented by a pharmacist in Ga and in the original formula they used Cocaine. Back when it was legal.
      :grin:

    • A Commentator

      Great article!

      Did you know coca cola is so sweet, has so much sugar, it has to have ingredients in it to prevent people from vomiting when drinking it?

    • Gryphon

      Guys whatever you do – at all cost – do not put that stuff into your bodies!
      One can contains 42 grams of sugar (a month’s supply).
      It is, technically, POISON. And giving it to your kids is tantamount to Child Abuse…

      • 2QIK4U

        It cleans rusted metal better than hydrochloric acid does! If your car battery goes flat, fill the cell’s with Coca-Cola instead of water and your car battery will last for Year’s. :smile:

      • becomingme

        It does not contain sugar, if you read the ingredients on a bottle of Coke it is High Fructose Corn Syrup (made from GMO corn).

        The effects of HFCS in the body are very different from sugar; it affects the pancreas and the liver.

        • Gryphon

          @ becomingme
          Haha – what, sugar doesn’t?
          Sugar is a specific Hepatotoxin! Refined sugar is literally poison.
          But yes; HFCS could be even worse though (if that’s possible) heheh…

        • The Clucker

          If they took out the HFCS and started putting cocaine in it again I would be a returning customer.

        • 2QIK4U

          And everything has Phenylenaline which is it’s own brain altering effect’s to. It’s crack for kid’s :idea:

    • TEXASPROUD

      WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS Matthew 24: 36-38 – “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.…”
      Look around folks…… EVERYTHING that is going on NOW is EXACTLY THE SAME as it was in the days of Noah before he boarded the ark.
      We are marching on like sheeple to the slaughter of the New World Order. Just blindly following our government and the world; not asking questions and relying on our cellphones, our iPods, our reality TV, our sports teams.

      The music of this world is luring our youth into the realm of demonology through the use of BINAURAL BEATS and BACK MASKING on everything we buy! The music industry is extremely satanic. According to John Todd, a former music executive, and practicing satanist in the 1970’s, the music industry takes the master of an album to a satanic high priest who then,,along with a coven of witches, pray demons into the master. These demons are told to follow every tape, album, music download and take over it’s listeners! If you don’t believe me thenYOUTUBE John Todd and listen to his tapes.. (He was killed for exposing the truth)…..WAKE UP PEOPLE..

      You can mock me all you want…. God promised that there would be people who would mock him in the last days….
      2 Peter 3: ” Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
      8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
      10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a]
      11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

      We are relying on EVERYTHING OTHER than the one who craves relationship with us.

      God created you to know him personally. Psalm 139:13-14 “You created every part of me and put me together in my mother’s womb.”
      John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son so that whosoever would believe in him would not perish but have everlasting life.”

      Jesus Christ is God’s only solution for our Sin.. For the wages of sin is death. He died in our place
      Romans 5:8 “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while were till yet sinners.”

      He rose from the dead:
      1 Corinthians 15: 3-6 “Christ died for our sins.. he was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day…He was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles.. After that he was seen by more than five hundred”

      Through Jesus alone we can know God personally and experience God’s love.
      HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD…
      John 4: 6 “Jesus said to them, ‘ I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

      We must believe in and receive Christ.
      John 1:12 “to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they had to do was to trust and believe in Jesus to be saved.”

      We receive Christ by FAITH
      God promised eternal life to all who receive Christ
      1 John 5: 12-13 “Whoever has God’s Son has life; whoever does not have His Son, does not have life. I have written this to you who believe in the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.”

      GOD BLESS YOU….

      • DennisB

        You need to know….

        The final stage of human history…let the truth be known

        And they, The gods, ENKI and ENLIL, and ENKI’s son Murduk (RA), came here to mined gold, created man as workers, set them selves up as gods, created religion to keep the human masses under control and worship them forever as mindless slaves collecting their gold. Worked out well for these aliens. And the SPELL (the holy spirit) continues to this day.

        When these aliens finaly come back and make themselves known (the second coming), they will want and get, all the gold their slaves collected for the past 3600 years and the slaves will be told the truth of this world…I hope….if they only let themselves believe the truth by then….We were all fooled.

      • DennisB

        Texasproud, There a lot of things in this world…Things that happened thousands of years ago that have brought mankind into the darkness and control of a few power hungry individuals. Religion is one of them.

      Hello Angle#3(Of-Ful Prelim),

      Charilie here. And this is the company who Warren Buffoon (one of its biggest investors) says he picks because of excellent managment! LOL! How about Warren just knows what is ADDICTIVE to humans. Sugar, caffiene, food and the goods to get them to you, like railways, grocery stores, companies, etc.

      Great investor or shrewd drug dealer? Warren knows what is addictive to humans in whatever realm they live in. That’s his BIG secret.

      Signed,

      Charlie (He once invested in Dunkin Doughnuts) :lol: :lol:

    • 2QIK4U

      Proudly haven’t had 1 Coke product in year’s. Do you know Coke’s secret ingredient ? The one that gives you that tangy burn as you swallow it? It’s Paprika with vanilla bean :neutral:

    • carolina4

      have you noticed that store generic brands sell bags of sugar that just say sugar. whereas the main brand says pure cane sugar. that gmo beet sugar will eat right through your teeth.

      • Jacko

        If you put pure cane sugar directly on your teeth the same thing happens. Don’t just eat sugar because it destroys your teeth. That’s common knowledge. Ppl had tooth decay before GMO’s. So how is that a cause?

    • Jacko

      “and is often blamed for contributing to the growing obesity epidemic”

      This is how dense these fatties are. They can’t stop stuffing sugar in their mouths and then whine it’s the fault of the industry. People have control over their own body but CHOOSE to eat bad stuff. Obesity isn’t a disease. It’s just people who eat,eat,eat and eat. The only calories they burn is moving their freaking jaw! When you’re uber fat there’s only one to blame. Coca-Cola has no part in this. I’m 1,93 meters tall and weigh 76 kg. And I also drink Coca-Cola. I just don’t drink bottles a day. But maybe 1 or 2 glasses a week.

      • LucidMebin

        Jacko, do you strive to always be the opposition?

    • Nanar

      Though everybody is down against coca-cola, it probably saved my life (true) when I had a extremely bad food poisoning and I was quite far from any medical support : inside cleaning good and nice.

      The issue is not the soft drinks in themselves (or the firms that produce them), the issue is the quantity drank by mass consumers.

      Don’t blame a firm for your own behavior, their aim is to maximize profit and to do so, there is no better way then mass production (cost driven)

      Drink water and pb solved.
