Coca-Cola honored a pledge to be more transparent about its partnerships and research support to reduce obesity, saying it has spent almost $120 million on those efforts in the past five years. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) was listed as receiving about $1.7 million in support from Coca-Cola. "What I find most remarkable about this list is its length and comprehensiveness. ... Any scientist or dietitian who is willing to take Coca-Cola funding gets it," said Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University.
