June 18, 2013 16:13 EDT KO AMA adopts policy supporting ban of marketing energy drinks to kids The American Medical Association, or AMA, announced that it voted during its Annual Meeting to adopt several new policies on emerging issues in public health and science. Among the policies adopted was support for a ban of the marketing of high stimulant/caffeine drinks to adolescents under the age of 18. "Energy drinks contain massive and excessive amounts of caffeine that may lead to a host of health problems in young people, including heart problems, and banning companies from marketing these products to adolescents is a common sense action that we can take to protect the health of American kids," said AMA board member Alexander Ding, M.D. The Fly notes that Forbes reported earlier this week that the AMA might endorse such a ban. 15:23 EDT KO AMA calls for ban on advertising energy drinks to kids, Bloomberg says Subscribe for More Information 08:38 EDT SNY Sanofi management to meet with JPMorgan Subscribe for More Information June 17, 2013 07:22 EDT KO Biotech Industry Organization to host a conference Subscribe for More Information June 13, 2013 14:40 EDT KO Coca-Cola volatility increases to 18-month high Subscribe for More Information 11:02 EDT SNY Leerink's major pharma analyst holds an analyst/Industry conference call Subscribe for More Information 05:58 EDT KO Coca-Cola implied volatility at upper end of index mean range Subscribe for More Information June 11, 2013 09:55 EDT KO Coca-Cola Enterprises falls after highlighting 'challenging' conditions Shares of bottling company beverage distributor Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) are sinking after the company indicated this morning that its operating conditions have been more challenging than expected.

Muhtar Kent, chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, attended the ceremonial inauguration of a bottling plant in Crystal Springs, Hmawbi Township. The facility is the first to locally bottle Coca-Cola since the company re-entered Myanmar last year. The historic event continues the long-term commitment of The Coca-Cola Company to generate a lasting positive impact by manufacturing, distributing, selling and hiring through its local business in Myanmar. After the lifting of sanctions, The Coca-Cola Company became one of the first U.S. companies to be awarded an investment permit under Myanmar's new Foreign Investment Law. The inauguration of the Coca-Cola plant is a tangible demonstration of Coca-Cola's planned $200M investment over the next five years. The capital investment will increase production capacity, grow logistics including sales and distribution operations, and improve marketing and people capabilities. This investment will stimulate job creation and Coca-Cola estimates that it will create more than 22,000 job opportunities across the entire value chain over the next five years.
