Global Energy Balance Network Dismantles After Involvement With Coke Revealed

By Dietdoctor @DietDoctor1

Is weight control all about calories, energy balance and exercise? That's what the Global Energy Balance Network claimed, until it was discovered that it had been funded by Coca-Cola ( like most experts who say the same thing).

The Energy Balance Network claimed to be completely independent from Coca-Cola, despite the money. But then it was discovered that Coca-Cola had selected its leaders, edited its mission statement and put up their website.

A few weeks ago the Coca-Cola funding for the Global Energy Balance Network was cancelled. And this week the organization dismantles. A pure coincidence, of course.
