Coca‑Cola provides funding to these experts for their efforts to share scientific expertise, practical nutrition, physical activity and lifestyle information with consumers and/or health professionals. They state their own views and disclose their relationship with The Coca‑Cola Company.

The total amount of funding provided to these experts during this time, including experts who did not consent to disclosure, is $25,269 The funding included support for travel related expenses as well as professional fees.
