It probably won’t shock you to hear that Big Pharma is cozying up with our food industry. But the depth of this unholy alliance might just knock your socks off. Fox News host Jesse Watters is shining a spotlight on this issue by featuring a former Coca-Cola employee who’s spilling the beans on exactly how Big Pharma and Big Food manipulate the system to benefit themselves—and, as usual, leave the rest of us in the lurch.
Calley Means blows the lid off how Big Food and Big Pharma have manipulated our health for profit. Mr. Means details how these industries have paid off medical groups to silence the dangerous truth about our food, directly contributing to a national health crisis where the majority of Americans suffer from totally preventable diseases.
In other words, the people who are supposed to keep us nourished and safe are killing us.
Coca Cola Insider Speaks Out About Company Secrets
Jesse Waters “Our next guest used to work for the Coca-Cola Company, and he says he saw firsthand how the food and pharma industries rigged the system to their advantage”
Calley Means “The most important issue in the world, which is that we’re getting sicker, fatter, more depressed, more infertile because of food.
Eight of the ten leading causes of Americans today are directly tied to food, reversible by food. But we really are gaslighted from that fact. It’s because of a rig system.
Three particular levels I saw is that food companies directly pay medical groups.
Coke has funneled millions of dollars, and the American Academy of Diabetes, the American Academy of Pediatrics, who said the American Nutrition Association, they’ve accepted millions of dollars of coke.
What does that buy?

Most notorious was during the pandemic—when obesity was widely understood to be a significant comorbidity—CC and Pepsico kept the sugary sodas very well stocked while reducing production of “diet” and non-sugared products.
Ping.
Years ago, one would often read articles or view documentaries on the sugar industry and how much influence their lobbyists had in DC. Those people were finally silenced and I seldom see anyone mention the sugar industry at all.
Check out the ingredients on any food product you purchase. Look at the amount of added sugar to everything. There is no need for that much sugar to be added to food products. If it is not listed as sugar then it is fructose (same thing). I’m not sure what all they are doing to our food, but I’ve noticed even the fresh vegetables and fruit I purchase have had SOMETHING done to them. Apples no longer taste like apples. Peaches no longer taste like peaches. I believe our food is making us sicker and sicker.
The reason they have to add sugar is because the food has been denatured, where there is little nutritional value other than as a source of carbohydrates.

Which is why there is so much diabetes. Government recommendations regarding which carbs to eat and how much is another thing people should ignore. Actually, at this point, you can pretty much ignore all government recommendations.
Hoping not to be too picky, my FRiend, however yes and no.
Sugar, as we generally know it, is a disaccharide, a composition of fructose and glucose.
Fructose, however, is a simple, monosaccharide.
Fructose in small quantities, say half an apple, is not generally a huge deal.
However when concentrated as high fructose corn syrup, it's a major glycemic slug, and demands more from your pancreas (to control blood "sugar") than natural foods typically do.
But no, it was masks, distancing, and the vax. Only. I have no doubt the soda and junk food lobby had everything to do with that.
I agree. Get a good book on diet and you’re ahead of the game.
I tell liberals to buy about $300 worth of books on diet and nutrition and exercise and healthful living and you have the healthcare you need.
BUMP
“ However when concentrated as high fructose corn syrup, it’s a major glycemic slug, and demands more from your pancreas (to control blood “sugar”) than natural foods typically do.”
From Wiki:
“ Studies show the greatest absorption rate occurs when glucose and fructose are administered in equal quantities.[45] When fructose is ingested as part of the disaccharide sucrose, absorption capacity is much higher because fructose exists in a 1:1 ratio with glucose.”
…
“ Fructose and galactose are phosphorylated in the liver by fructokinase (Km= 0.5 mM) and galactokinase (Km = 0.8 mM), respectively. By contrast, glucose tends to pass through the liver (Km of hepatic glucokinase = 10 mM) and can be metabolised anywhere in the body. Uptake of fructose by the liver is not regulated by insulin.”
…
“ Fructose was found to increase triglycerides in type-2 but not type-1 diabetes and moderate use of it has previously been considered acceptable as a sweetener for diabetics,[61] possibly because it does not trigger the production of insulin by pancreatic β cells.”
4 out of 5 dentists prefer Pepsi
Have you looked up “bliss points?” Processed food is designed to induce you to eat more. That, and a too high percentage of processed foods have seed oils in them and it is metabolic syndrome in a package.
hey! That’s not fair! These companies paid good money to keep that info quiet. Next you’ll be telling people to not eat processed foods and get more exercise. Drug companies need to sell diabetes medicine. The profit is in treating diabetes not curing it. So keep this under wraps.
Got it. Mumsies the word.

You are correct. I should have clarified exactly what I meant when I mentioned “fructose”.
We're all on the same team.
The number one purchase by those with food stamps: soda
Add to that all the free food given out at school for the kids and the kids to bring home from school. Whenever they start those programs, obesity immediately follows.
Free food and food stamps = obesity.
The libs have to find some way to wipe out the poor and minorities so they push food and abortions.
“Apples no longer taste like apples.”
They certainly do around here (eastern Washington State — known for apple production). In fact, glorious new variants coming out all the time like Cosmic Crisp™.
I think it’s you.
