AMA not happy about Coca-Cola’s health-washing letter to doctors: it won’t happen again

It’s not news that globally the junk food and drink industry is on a health-washing campaign as part of efforts to avoid regulatory pressure and maintain profits (see this 2010 article on the industry’s tactics from the US-based Centre for Media and Democracy’s PR Watch.)

What is surprising, perhaps, is that the Australian Medical Publishing Company (AMPCo) – a fully owned subsidiary of the AMA – enabled Coca-Cola’s most recent health-washing campaign. As the AMPCo website states:

AMPCo Data Direct owns Australia’s most accurate and comprehensive lists of doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and other health professionals and institutions. It rents or licences these lists so people and organisations can communicate with doctors and other health care professionals. AMPCo Data Direct also has expertise in direct mail processing, databasing and fulfilment services.

To have AMPCo sending out this letter to doctors was not a good look for the AMA or its public health campaigning (Click on image for larger version).

But it seems this is now something of a collector’s item – that Coca-Cola won’t be sending any more letters to health professionals via AMPCo.

After a few doctors raised concerns about the letter on Twitter last week, Croakey sought a response from the AMA. It follows.

“We can confirm:

  • There is a formal vetting process in place.
  • The transaction with Coca Cola was a mailing list rental.
  • The content of the Coca Cola letter should have been subject to more stringent scrutiny.
  • At no time is control of the data released.
  • The database is used to impart important information from Government and groups such as Black Dog Institute, NPS, Mabel, public health campaigns, etc.
  • It is used to distribute information about new medicines, procedures, insurance and medical indemnity, medical devices, banks, product recalls, etc.
  • Publications such as Medical Observer and Australian Doctor use the database.
  • There is a consumer products category.
  • There has never been a mail out on behalf of tobacco or alcohol companies.
  • The AMA will now take a more active role in the vetting process.”

Meanwhile, other organisations continue to assist Coca-Cola’s health-washing – like this group, Exercise is Medicine (an initiative of Exercise and Sports Science Australia), and, as previously reported at Croakey, Bicycle Network Victoria.

 ***

Update, 20 September, 2013

Thanks to Canadians Meghan Telpner and Yoni Freedhof for drawing Croakey’s attention to their previous work on Coca-Cola’s healthwashing efforts.

Freedhof, a family doctor and Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa, wrote in 2010 about the Exercise is Medicine group and its role in serving “its founding sponsor Coca-Cola, in the promotion of the assertion that the best means to deal with our current obesity epidemic is to ensure that people exercise. Or to put it another way, that sugary soda’s not a bad thing so long as you live an active lifestyle….”

Telpner, a Toronto-based nutritionista, also adds some historical perspective, noting that Coca-Cola has a long history of marketing based on “health” claims.

In this clip she compares the tactics of the tobacco industry and Coca Cola (see also the screen grab below).

    The coca cola conspiracy is so well presented by Dr. Robert Lustig from Uni of California in the high rating You tube video, Sugar, the bitter Truth, see link below. All the food processors know that sugar, used as a preservative in their atrocious products, shortens life by 15-20 years. But government is too scared to tackle the obesity crisis at its source so the coca cola conspiracy will unfortunately prevail and continue to make public health care unaffordable and allow the suite of metabolic diseases to proliferate to the point that children will die before their parents.

  2. George Lasserre says:

    I am writing my university thesis on communication in the 21st century and saw you article criticising Coca-Cola for communicating their actions to doctors. It raised the following questions…

    Do you not have the “Freedom of Speech in Australia”.
    Aren’t people allowed to communicate and share opinions? Is is because you are all descended from criminals?
