An ad featuring Kerry Armstrong about trying to bust the myths about Coke has been busted by the ACCC – Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for misleading the public.
The ACCC yesterday ordered Coca-Cola to publish corrections in newspapers around the country over its “Kerry Armstrong on motherhood and myth-busting” ad published last October.
It’s interesting that a can of 375ml coke contains 39.8 grams of sugar or 13 standard tea spoons.
Excess energy consumption leads to fat storage in the body so a rich sugary drink will not help the waistline.

I like this outcome as finally there is some accountability for making misleading nutritional statements:))))
Unfortunately this is an example of how self regulation doesn’t work as this had lead to the ACCC having Coke busted for misleading the public about their advertisement.
