" ... they tried to cover up links between drinking sugary beverages and harmful health effects such as obesity and diabetes..."

Well - you cannot fix stupid - public or otherwise. ALL traditional soft drinks contain in the order of 30 gm sugar ( various forms ), and too much sugar makes you fat. Or obese, or pleasantly plump, or ..... The quantity of sugar is on the "nutrition label" as carbohydrate, sugar, glucose, dextrose ... whatever. 

As for the law suit - pretty pathetic if that is what it takes ! How about suing the people who buy and drink this junk, become obese and then burden our health care system with the consequences ?!
