NEW YORK (AP) — A nonprofit funded by the Coca-Cola Co. to combat obesity is disbanding following revelations about the beverage maker's involvement with the group. Last week, The Associated Press reported on emails showing that Coke helped with the selection of the group's leaders, edited its mission statement and suggested content for its website. Critics say Coke touts the idea of "energy balance," or the need to offset calorie intake with physical activity, to deflect negative attention over its sugary drinks by stressing the need for exercise.
