Science Group Sues Coca-Cola Co. For VitaminWater Claims

The Center for Science in the Public Interest filed a class action lawsuit against Coca-Cola Co. for falsely advertising its new VitaminWater beverages as healthful drinks.

"VitaminWater is Coke's attempt to dress up soda in a white physician's coat," said the group's litigation director, Steve Gardner. "Underneath it is still sugar water - sugar water that costs ten bucks a gallon."

Coca-Cola promotes VitaminWater as a product that reduces the risk of disease, improves immune function and promotes healthy joints.

I, too, have a teen age boy who is 17 and he, too, doesn't seem to care one whit whether he succeeds at school. We took him off Ritalin two years ago after he abused them. Things were not good then and have gotten worse.

Most of the behavioral therapy parents are supposed to use is BS. All you do is set up lots and LOTS of rules and after he fails on each one, punishment begins. I've even tried point systems. He was in negative points in three days.

We love our son. Why is this happening?
