  • Description: In a report published this week to coincide with Coca-Cola’s annual meeting of shareholders,1 the campaign group Corporate Accountability noted that over half of people appointed to the US 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee had ties to the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI), whose funders include Coke and other global corporations. Corporate Accountability says in its report, however, that it found evidence of ILSI’s research, governance, and activities being “fraught with conflicts of interest and non-disclosure of industry ties” and that its partnerships with governments were obscuring the public health impacts of soda and junk food. ILSI India produced a study in “partnership” with government research institutions that systematically disparaged and misrepresented the health effects of traditional foods, instead of focusing primarily on its benefactors’ products such as soda and processed foods and their detrimental impact on public health.
