Coca-Cola buys into Innocent drinks here in Britain, but the president of the Australian Dental Association, Neil Hewson, is not impressed:
Soft drinks have been a key factor in the deteriorating dental health of Australian children. When you consider the disturbing fact that almost a quarter of children [in Victoria] aged two to 12 drink more soft drink than water, it's vital that no parent is hoodwinked into thinking Coca-Cola is not an unhealthy product.
But good to see Coke fighting back against its Indian critics who say that it is nicking water. The company has launched an Elixir of Life initiative – to provide potable water to more than 30,000 underprivileged children in and around Chennai, and to 100 schools in West Bengal.
