Coca-Cola lawyers say Vitamin Water is not a healthy beverage

Coca-Cola is honest as the parent company of Vitamin Water. As it faces a lawsuit from the Center for Science in the Public Interest that claims that the health claims made over Vitamin Water are bogus, Coca-Cola’s legal team is defending the company by saying that “no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking Vitamin Water was a healthy beverage,” writes the Huffington Post. The lawsuit is happening because Vitamin Water was marketed by saying there were health benefits from it. Article resource – Coca-Cola lawyers say Vitamin Water is not a healthy beverage by Personal Money Store.

Is Coco-Cola belittling consumers of Vitamin water or just making justifications for lies?

Truth be told, experts have found that Vitamin Water is essentially sugar water (33 grams per serving), reports the Post. There is less sugar than Coke although it is nevertheless pretty ridiculous. Kobe Bryant and LeBron James help Coco-Cola sell the product with “about a penny’s worth of synthetic vitamins”. Tell that to the 35 percent of Americans who are considered medically obese, says the Post.

Johns Hopkins against liquid calories

Liquid calories shouldn’t be drunk anymore says a 2009 reports by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. This is how losing weight happens the fastest. ”Liquid calories” include any drink with extra sugar in them.

Coco-Cola’s ruling from the federal judge

U.S. District Court Judge John Gleeson of New York’s was made rather easy by Coca-Cola’s decision not , wrote, “At oral arguments, defendants (Coca-Cola) suggested that no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking vitamin water was a healthy beverage.” Nothing the soft drink giant was not claiming the lawsuit was wrong on factual grounds, the judge wrote that, “Accordingly, I must accept the factual allegations within the complaint as true.”.

Coco-Cola spend the money to make Vitamin Water look healthy?

The money spent by Coco-Cola in marketing Vitamin Water is not known yet. If you need something healthy to drink, water could be your best bet. For flavor you are able to add tea or lemon juice. If your tap water isn’t too great, a filter could be bought and works really well. Fruits and vegetables could be the place to try to find nutrients. Do not buy Vitamin Water if you are mad about the lie. Coca-Cola will get the message eventually, if enough individuals exercise common sense.
