1032. Exposing the Food Industry's Dirty Secrets: A Whistleblower's Tale

Dr. Martin recently listened to an interview of a consultant to Coca-Cola who became a whistleblower. He brought us into the meetings of the big conglomerate to expose how they manipulate data and how much money goes into lobbying the government.  Coca-Cola does 11 times more research than the National Institute of Health. They pay for research on their products and they're expecting something in return. They will sponsor peer reviewed studies that show how sugar is not near as dangerous as people think. When the man was asked why he became a whistleblower, his response was that he had children. His children would be consuming 100 times more sugar in their lifetime than a child a hundred years ago.  Dr. Martin says it’s incredible how much power and influence these companies have. Join him in today’s episode as he shares some of the food industry’s dirty secrets.
