That to the American Dietetic Association, registered dietitians are currently being given formal education by the Coca-Cola Company on how safe its ingredients are. The ADA's Commission on Dietetic Registration has approved a program created by the Coca Cola Company Beverage Institute for Health and Wellness that will educate dieticians about what it calls "urban myths" about food safety.
The program teaches that fluoride, sugar, artificial colors and nonnutritive sweeteners have been "carefully examined for their effects on children's health, growth, and development," and suggests methods dietitians can use to help get rid of "concern among parents about their children's health."
According to the Alliance for Natural Health:
"Program materials include gems like '[a] majority of studies so far have not found a link between sugar and behavior in children generally or children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.' This is certainly news to us, since we have seen many studies that say the opposite."
