John Robbins: The Dark Side of Vitaminwater

According to John Robbins, Coca-Cola has been sued in the United States by a nonprofit public interest group because the vitamin water product is displaying an improper health promotion indication, "Itself is not a bark" I am doing. Then, what is the problem is, "How does Coca-Cola defend itself?" Coca-Cola attorney defends with arguing that the surprising logic has twisted as follows.

"Consumers could not properly misunderstand "Vitamin Water is a healthy drink""

It is difficult to understand with meaningless claims, but this is because you actually had a health benefit by listening to the product name that was sold as a very aggressive beverage named "Vitamin Water" Do you mean that you mean you will have to be an unreasonable person to think or that no one really believes in those lies (name does not mean health drink as it is vitamin water) As long as it is possible, does that mean that a company can lie about that product without problems?

Vitamin water actually sold in the United States is basically sugar water and contains 33 grams of sugar, which is the same level as other soft drinks, not as much as Coca-Cola In fact, it is also true that consumers actually get at least some vitamins by drinking this vitamin water.

However, about 35% of Americans are obese, two-thirds of Americans are overweight, various causes are pointed out by medical personnel, but what they have in common is "to take sugar too much There is a point in it. The very problem is that this overweight person said "This product like vitamin water is nutritious and there should not be much calorie" "Drinking vitamin water is wise to think from the perspective of weight loss I was consuming with false conviction that it was an option "? And the very fact that the name "Vitamin Water" is cheating the fact that it is actually full of sugar, and that it was thought of as "It is simply water with additional nutrients" That is why.

For the majority of Americans' raw materials it is actually more important to know what to eat rather than what to eat, he said he is getting nearly 25 percent of calories from liquids. In 2009 it published a report that researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School are to reduce the caloric consumption of drinks as the fastest and most reliable way to lose weight. In other words, the best way is to not drink soft drinks containing sugar.

According to the Federal Judge John Gleason (US District Court for the Eastern District of New York), in oral argument, "defendant (Coca-Cola) said that vitamin water trial, vitamin He suggested that consumers do not reasonably misunderstand about thinking that water was a healthy drink, "the Coca-Cola side was forced to defend himself, and"Vitamin water is not a healthy productI admit it. However, the Coca-Cola side also insists that "advertising that vitamin water is such is not a false advertisement." In other words, although vitamin water is not a healthy product, it is not false to advertise with a healthy image.

"Why is it that a company like Coca-Cola is a company like Coca-Cola that drinking a single sugar water with a few additional water-soluble vitamins is a legitimate way to meet our nutritional needs? Do you admit to tell them? "John Robbins raised a doubt and if you want to drink ordinary drinking water or to taste the water you drink, lemon, a small amount of honey, a little maple syrup Try it out or try mixing lemonade · fruit juice in water or if you want to boil green tea, if you want to liven up half of it suggests to split with fruit juice or carbonated water and go out of your home water supply If water itself is Mazui, it is said that you should buy a water purifier, "It is probably best to rely on soft drink companies to supplement your vitamins and other essential nutrients There is no saying.

Actually, even in Japan it is clear that health drinks are being sold as if they are "as if it sounds like healthy", and if you do not have the right knowledge, it is merely "thinking That's why. In the future, this trend will further strengthen, not only for soft drinks but for all kinds of things "What do you believe in? There is no proof that it is true as it is written there Do you believe in? "Always in mind that you need to be in touch with everything.

Is not it supposed to believe that there is no basis to believe what is right and what is wrong and that there is no evidence for himself? Repeating such questions yourself and always checking the authenticity of the information itself should be a key advantage for living a society in the future. Especially when you get something information it is important to think that there is not only "Mal" or "Batu" but also "option to hold until trusty evidence comes out".
