Overview

How Coca-Cola makes Americans sick-and makes sure we don't know it. If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don't find out, as this damning expose makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America's health-and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark.
