I couldn't help but notice an interesting article about the controversy over American Academy of Family Physicians partnering with the Coca-Cola Company to develop soft drink educational materials. All this reminds me of the debate over tobacco-funded research at Berkeley (the School of Public Health banned tobacco funds in 2004). I take it the the AAFP needs outreach money very desperately, but must it do so in a way that compromises its reputation? We'll just have to see what happens.
