Atlanta-based Coca-Cola and the American Beverage Association, a trade group, are being sued in a U.S. court for allegedly misleading consumers about the true health effects of sugary drinks.
A non-profit organization – The Praxis Project accused the beverage giant and the trade group of downplaying the risk of soft drinks on health in order to grow sales, despite evidence from the scientific community linking sugary drinks to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
