"Anti-Obesity Group Disbands After ‘Gift’ From Coke"

"NEW YORK — A non-profit funded by the Coca-Cola Co. to combat obesity is disbanding following revelations about the beverage maker’s involvement with the group.

The Global Energy Balance Network said on its website Monday night that it is 'discontinuing operations due to resource limitations.' The decision was effective immediately.

The group had previously said that it received an 'unrestricted gift' from Coke and that the Atlanta-based soft drink giant had 'no input' into its activities."
