The Coca Cola Company Pretends to Go Green and Healthy! Diet Coke Partners with US Government's Heart Health Program while New Study Says Drinking Diet Soda Increases Risk of Vascular Events By 61 Percent!

And what statement would that be, "WooHoo, I have heart disease from drinking Diet Coke!"?

The Coca Cola Company partners with our government to tell women to take their heart health into their own hands while telling them to hold a can of Diet Coke. The irony is too obvious to mistake it as anything other than our government and big business climbing into bed together to make a big lie!

From the Diet Coke Heart Health site:

"The Heart Truth® campaign is a national awareness campaign, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), that is embraced by millions of women who share the goal of better heart health.  The campaign not only raises awareness about heart disease in women, it also equips them to take action against risk factors. The NHLBI is part of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "

Diet Coke's Heart Truth Campaign is a Big Lie!

Seriously Diet Coke?  Do you think consumers are idiots?  How can you promote heart health while a new study says your product, when consumed each day, causes heart problems? The study, which was done at Columbia University and University of Miami, followed 2,500 New Yorkers for 9 years and found that those that consumed diet soda every day had a 61 percent increased risk of vascular events such as stroke or heart attack than those that drank none. Nice.

First you bombard women with the adorable little skinny can sending the message that super skinny is the picture of beauty...

and now you try to go green by partnering with our government to push your product and company as one that is heart healthy?

Now contrast that ridiculous effort with the facts...

How can a company be so heartless?
