It s as American as fast foods, ice cream, and candy bars. So why
are people saying all those nasty things about soft drinks? The
answer is simple: All those terrible things are true. And while the
facts may be hard to swallow, it is high time we look at the damage
that has been done by our long-running love affair with the
beverage industry. In their new book, Killer Colas, Dr. Nancy
Appleton and G.N. Jacobs provide a startling picture of a greedy
industry hell-bent on destroying our country s health, no matter
what the cost.
Over the last twenty-five years, the sale of sodas, energy
beverages, and sports drinks has exploded, as has the incidence of
adult and childhood obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease,
cancer, and stroke. In Killer Colas, the authors detail why this
downward spiral has occurred. They look at the history and growth
of the soft drink industry from fountain shops to multinational
mega-corporations; they examine the industry s powerful influence
over the media; and they look at the addictive and harmful
ingredients these companies have added to their formulas. The
authors also offer scientific evidence that links our growing
consumption of soft drinks with our declining health.
In the light of our country s health crisis, the consequences of
our addiction to soft drinks can no longer be ignored. Killer Colas
exposes the facts behind an addiction that is just as powerful and
dangerous as our love of tobacco. Once you have read this book, you
will never look at a soft drink in the same way. "
