AHPA is proud to announce its support for the Kick Big Soda Out of Sport campaign. This campaign urges the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to terminate Coca-Cola's sponsorship and to refrain from accepting future sponsorships from corporations that harm public health and the environment.
Sugary drinks, such as those produced by Coca-Cola, significantly contribute to obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and environmental degradation. As health professionals, AHPA believes it is essential for the IOC to align its sponsorships with the values of health promotion and environmental sustainability. We encourage our members and the wider community to support this campaign to ensure the Olympic Games uphold their commitment to a better world.
