Oxford Fall/Winter 2016 Trade Catalog Soda Politics Taking on Big Soda (and Winning) Marion Nestle, Mark Bittman, Neal Baer Key Selling Points • Answers the question, how did what is essentially flavored sugarwater come to mean so much and to have such devastating health and food policy consequences? • The first book to focus on the history, politics, nutrition, and health of soda, integrating public health science with historical and cultural research • Helps readers understand how we created this food system, what its problems are, and what we can do to change things • Written by the incomparable Marion Nestle, founder of the food studies program at NYU, and major public health and food choice advocate • Well illustrated, with ~70 figures and ~60 tables • Foreword by Mark Bittman, food journalist and columnist for The New York Times • Afterword by Neal Baer, pediatrician and television writer and producer Summary Sodas are astonishing products. Little more than flavored sugarwater, these drinks cost practically nothing to produce or buy, yet have turned their makersprincipally CocaCola and PepsiCointo a multibilliondollar industry with global recognition, Oxford University Press distribution, and political power. Billed as "refreshing," "tasty," "crisp," and "the real 9780190263430 thing," sodas also happen to be so well established to contribute to poor dental 0190263431 hygiene, higher calorie intake, obesity, and type2 diabetes that the first line of defense Pub Date: 10/9/2015 $29.95/$35.95 Can. against any of these conditions is to simply stop drinking them. Habitually drinking large Discount Code: 02 volumes of soda not only harms individual health, but also burdens societies with Hardcover runaway healthcare costs. 528 Pages 130 illustrations So how did products containing absurdly inexpensive ingredients become multibillion Medical /Public Health dollar industries and international brand icons, while also having a devastating impact on MED078000 public health? 6.1 in | 9.3 in Status:UNSPECIFIED In Soda Politics, Dr. Marion Nestle answers this question by detailing all of the ways that the soft drink industry works overtime to make drinking soda as common and accepted as drinking water, for adults and children. Dr. Nestle, a renowned food and nutrition policy expert and public health advocate, shows how sodas are principally miracles of advertising; CocaCola and PepsiCo spend billions of dollars each year to promote their sale to children, minorities, and lowincome populations, in developing as well as industrialized nations. And once they have stimulated that demand, they leave no stone unturned to protect profits. That includes lobbying to prevent any measures that would discourage soda sales, strategically donating money to health organizations and researchers who can make the science about sodas appear confusing, and engaging in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities to create goodwill and silence critics. Soda Politics follows the money trail wherever it leads, revealing how hard Big Soda works to sell as much of their products as possible to an increasingly obese world. But Soda Politics does more than just diagnose a problemit encourages readers to help find solutions. From Berkeley to Mexico City and beyond, advocates are successfully countering the relentless marketing, promotion, and political protection of sugary drinks. And their actions are having an impact for all of the hardball and softball tactics the soft drink industry employs to maintain the status quo, soda consumption has been flat or falling for years. Health advocacy campaigns are now the single greatest threat to soda companies' profits. Soda Politics provides readers with the tools they need to keep up pressure on Big Soda in order to build healthier and more sustainable food systems. Contributor Bio Dr. Marion Nestle is Paulette Goddard Professor in the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health and Professor of Sociology at New York University. Her degrees include a Ph.D. in molecular biology and an M.P.H. in public health nutrition, both from the University of California, Berkeley. From 198688, she was senior nutrition policy advisor in the Department of Health and Human Services and managing editor of the 1988 Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health. She has been a member of the FDA Food Advisory Committee and Science Board, the USDA/DHHS Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, and American Cancer Society committees that issue dietary guidelines for cancer prevention.

Soda Politics is exactly the kind of carefullyresearched investigative reporting needed to open the eyes of the public and parliamentarians to the health hazards of what is, as the author rightly notes, essentially liquid candy in a bottle." Dr. Margaret Chan, DirectorGeneral, World Health Organization "No book in history has so completely laid bare the soda scourge that touches every corner of the world. Marion Nestle shows how this happened, its impact on human health and wellbeing, who the players are, and, most importantly, what might be done. This is the right book at the right time." Dr. Kelly Brownell, Dean, Sanford School of Public Policy, Duke University "Marion Nestle is one of the greatest muckrakers of our time, and what she does is vitally importantfor our health, our environment, and for future generations. Here, she wages war against the soda titans with such piercing clarity and so many irrefutable truths that all other arguments crumble." Alice Waters, Founder and Proprietor of Chez Panisse "Comprehensive and wellwritten, this book will help frame a thoughtful public policy debate about nutrition and the societal impacts and costs of obesity." Ann M. Veneman, Former US Secretary of Agriculture and Former Executive Director of UNICEF "What happens when the food industry's most insightful critic turns her sights on soda? This razorsharp, fun to read, planofbattle for one of the greatest public health fights of our time. Big soda may have all the money, but those who would enter this fray, as we all should, now have their champion." Michael Moss, Author of Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us "For decades, soda companies have amassed fortunes off drinks that are making us sick. It took someone like Marion Nestle to cut through the spin and uncover the high cost of cheap sodas." Robert Kenner, Director/Producer, Food Inc. and Merchants of Doubt "An outstanding manual for health educators, activists, and anyone seeking information about the soda industry and its impact on health."
