29 Jul 2024 --- Together with global health groups, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) calls on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to drop its sponsorship from Coca-Cola. The organization notes that sponsoring sporting events allows companies to create a “health halo” for unhealthy products, such as sugary drinks, by associating them with leading athletes. CSPI joins the global campaign “Kick Big Soda out of Sport,” which highlights the harmful effects of sugary drinks on health and the planet.
