Cambridge University report says Coke's academic research funding comes with a hitch. It can kill studies it doesn't like
Cambridge's Department of Politics and International Studies makes the discovery while examining research funding agreements between private corporations and public institutions.Its report says Coke retained the right to "quash studies" or "pressure researchers using the threat of termination" in at least five agreements found between 2015 and 2016.
Cambridge's Department of Politics and International Studies discovered Coke's demands while examining research funding agreements between private corporations and public institutions. It reviewed some 87,000 documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. "It's a playbook from Big Tobacco and Big Pharma. We looked to see if this is something that can happen with Big Food," said Dr. Sarah Steele, a policy researcher from Cambridge and lead author of the study, which was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Public Health Policy.For one, the documents are sprinkled with redactions. There's also no way to be certain the documents provide a complete sample of communication between Coke and the institutions.
Still, the study may add to concerns about Coke, which has been accused of omitting the health dangers of junk food and sugary beverages in public health campaigns in other countries. The authors released the study under an embargo that prohibited contacting the company for comment ahead of time.spearheaded an effort
