    In 1948, the French finance ministry stood against “Coke” on the grounds that its operation would bring no capital to help with French recovery, and was likely to drain profits back to the parent company in the United States.

    The expression “coca-colonization” also appears in medical literature to describe the lifestyle changes and the associated increase of incidence of characteristic chronic diseases, e.g. type 2 diabetes.
