YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THE STORY ABOUT HOW, BACK IN THE DAY,
HARVARD SCIENTISTS WERE PAID A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO,
ACCORDING TO THEM, SUPPRESS THE RESULTS ON HOW RELATED TO HEALTH
PROBLEMS SUGAR IS, AND INSTEAD WERE TOLD TO FOCUS THE ATTACKS
ON FAT IN THE DIET.
THIS WAS A BIG STORY YESTERDAY, BUT IF YOU HAVE SEEN
CERTAIN DOCUMENTARIES THAT HAVE COME OUT OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS, YOU KNOW THE STORY.
MONEY GOES INTO CERTAIN RESEARCH, AND THAT RESEARCH ENDS
UP BEING INFLUENCED BY THE PEOPLE WHO WERE PROVIDING THE
MONEY.
WHILE THERE'S A GREAT ARTICLE THAT WE READ THAT WAS ñ
THAT POINTED OUT FOR OTHER INSTANCES WHERE THIS WENT
DOWN IN THE PAST, AND IT'S HIGH TIME YOU KNOW ABOUT IT.
FIRST OFF, COCA-COLA'S ANTI-OBESITY INITIATIVE, THEY
PUT $1.5 MILLION INTO A DONATION TO START A
NONPROFIT, GLOBAL ENERGY BALANCE NETWORK.
ACCORDING TO A RESEARCH PROFESSOR, THE NETWORK
IS NOTHING BUT A
FRONT GROUP FOR COCA-COLA.
HER NAME IS MARIANNE NESTLE, BY
THE WAY, SHE'S NOT FROM THE
NESTL…
CORPORATION.
SECOND, SONY'S ñ SODA FUNDED STUDIES ARE LESS LIKELY TO
POINT TO ANY LINK BETWEEN SODA AND OBESITY.
THERE WAS ONE CALLED THE CIRCULATION STUDY.
"CIRCULATION RESEARCHERS ATTRIBUTED HUNDRED AND
84,000 DEATHS WORLDWIDE EACH YEAR FROM DIABETES,
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, AND CANCER FROM SWEETENED BEVERAGES.
CAVITY ñ CANDY COMPANIES RESEARCH THEIR OWN PRODUCTS.
CHILDREN WHO ATE CANDY TENDED TO BE THINNER THAN THOSE WHO
DIDN'T, CONVENIENT RIGHT?
ISN'T THAT CONVENIENT?
AND FINALLY, POM WONDERFUL CAME UNDER FIRE FROM THE FCC.
IN FACT, ACCORDING TO THIS ARTICLE, POM SPENT $34 MILLION
TO FUND POMEGRANATE JUICE RESEARCH AND THEN SPUN THE
RESULTS DIRECTED JUICE LOOK LIKE IT PREVENTED DISEASE.
THE FTC FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE COMPANY FOR
DECEPTIVE AND MISLEADING ADVERTISING IN 2010."
IT'S AMAZING BUT IT'S NOT SURPRISING.
NO, BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE RESEARCHERS, THEY NEED FUNDING.
WHERE IS THIS FUNDING GOING TO COME FROM?
I'M NOT SAYING IT'S GOOD, I'M SAYING THE WHOLE SETUP IS
ALREADY CROOKED.
ACCORDING TO MARIANNE NESTLE, WHO YOU QUOTED EARLIER, SHE
SPENT A YEAR TRACKING RESEARCH, BOOT STUDIES.
ABOUT 90% OF THE 170 COMPANY SHE MONITORED, THE RESEARCHERS
AND OTHER ñ ENDED UP MAKING VERY FAVORABLE DIAGNOSES OR
RESULTS TOWARDS THESE COMPANIES.
FOR INSTANCE, THERE'S ONE FROM WELCH'S GRAPE, THAT FOUND
THAT JUICE MAY BOOST BRAIN FUNCTION.
CONVENIENCE RIGHT?
QUAKER OATS, A STUDY FUNDED BY QUAKER OATS FOUND THAT IF YOU
EAT US ñ IF YOU EAT A BREAKFAST OF HOT OATMEAL, YOU ARE GOING TO
BE FULLER LONGER.
BECAUSE YOU'RE FULL OF OATMEAL.
WHAT DOES FULLER LONGER MEAN?
I DON'T KNOW.
COCA-COLA DID REPORT $132.8
MILLION TOWARD SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.
MY TAKE ON IT IS OF A BROADER PERSPECTIVE, HISTORY LOVES TO
REMIND US THAT IN OUR WORDS ñ IN OUR WORLD THERE IS
MONEY TO BE PAID IN MONEY TO BE MADE.
I WAS MENTIONING IT ON ALL-STAR TUESDAY, I WAS WATCHING AND ñ A
DOCUMENTARY INTO HOW IVY LEAGUE PROFESSORS CAN INSTANTLY LIKE TO
TAKE MONEY UNDER THE TABLE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE AS MUCH
BULLSHIT AS POSSIBLE FOR OUR ABSORPTION.
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU HAD PROFESSOR FREDERICK MISHKIN, THE
PROFESSOR AT COLUMBIA WHO OF COURSE IN THE INFAMOUS ARTICLE
ABOUT HOW THE ICELANDIC ECONOMY IS SO STABLE.
PUT YOUR MONEY INTO IT, IT'S A STABLE.
OF COURSE WHEN IT CRASHED, THAT LED TO MATT DAMON'S DOCUMENTARY,
AND HOW HE WAS INVOLVED IN TOOK ABOUT $125,000 TO BUY THAT
ARTICLE, SO IT'S NOT SURPRISING AS YOU MENTIONED BRETT, AND IS
NOT SURPRISING THAT IT HAPPENED IN THE 60S, PEOPLE WHO LEARNED
THEIR TRADE THERE, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH IT FORWARD.
THERE'S ANOTHER GREAT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HOUSTON
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES WILL PAY TO HAVE RESEARCHERS TALK
ABOUT HOW MARIJUANA IS GOING TO HINDER YOUR HEALTH.
IT'S WORSE FOR YOU THEN OTHER TYPES OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND
CIGARETTES, SO THAT WE DON'T LEGALIZE IT.
SO THE PEOPLE WON'T BUY IT INSTEAD OF PRODUCTS THAT
PEOPLE WILL BUY LEGALLY.
WE DID A STORY ON THE POP TRIGGER CHANNEL ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY RIGHT AFTER YOU DRINK COCA-COLA, AND IT IS
SHOCKING TO ME HOW THESE PEOPLE TRY TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE DIET
HAS A FAR SMALLER INFLUENCE ON HOW YOU FEEL AND HOW YOUR BODY
FEELS, AND YOU KNOW, CERTAIN FAT AGGREGATION, THEN EXERCISE.
YES YOU SHOULD HAVE A COMBINATION OF DIET AND
EXERCISE, BUT IF YOU ASK ANY PERSONAL TRAINER, THEY SAY
FIRST OF ALL STOP DRINKING SODA.
WHAT HAPPENS IS, YOUR LIVER'S JOB IS TO TAKE ALL THE SUGAR
THAT COMES IN, AND AS MUCH AS IT CAN, IT WILL GIVE YOU ENERGY.
BUT IT CAN'T MAKE IT ENERGY FAST ENOUGH, IT TURNS INTO FAT.
