Coca-Cola on Tom Brady’s ‘poison’ remark: ‘All our drinks are safe’

During the Dennis & Callahan Morning Show, Brady defended his personal trainer and business partner Alex Guerrero from a critical article in Boston Magazine, which called Guerrero a “glorified snake-oil salesman”.

Brady went to bat for Guerrero. “Why? Because they pay lots of money for advertisements… No, I totally disagree with that”, Brady said.

“To me, something is not adding up here when I see this guy that I think is a great guy, always with these bad guys”. The fact they can sell that to kids, that’s poison for kids.

“Willie used to be the big Alex evangelist, [but] now I’m the evangelist”, Brady said of Guerrero’s training and treatments. But they keep doing it …

The story revealed that Guerrero, Brady’s longtime training and nutrition Svengali, had twice been cited by the Federal Trade Commission for peddling products with falsified health benefits, including one supplement, Supreme Greens, that Guerrero claimed in an infomercial could stave off the effects of terminal illnesses such as cancer. “As a responsible beverage company and marketer, we prominently provide calorie and sugar information for our beverages so people can choose what makes sense for them and their families”. That’s just America, and that’s what we’ve been conditioned to.

Coca-Cola and Kellogg’s are in a food fight with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. “That’s what we get brainwashed to believe, that all these things are just normal food groups, and this is what you should eat”.

“You keep eating those things and you keep wondering why we do have just incredible rates of disease in our country”, he spewed. And these are the things you should take when you get sick.

“I don’t know the details of each of those incidences, but… there’s no better person that I enjoy as much as Alex”, Brady said. The latter product, as Boston Magazine found, was heavily endorsed by Brady and his company TB12 at the time. “That’s why Alex and I started TB12, because I felt based on the care that I received over 10 years, I can’t – this is what my calling will be after football, is to educate people, and what it really takes”. His actual degree, reports Boston Magazine, was a Masters in Chinese medicine at a California college that no longer exists.

Guerrero paid a $65,000 fine in 2005 as part of a settlement with the FTC, which prevented him from ever representing himself as a doctor or promoting Supreme Greens or a similar product.

“Guerrero did not have ‘reliable scientific evidence to substantiate the extraordinary claims [of NeuroSafe],’ the FTC wrote in a letter”, Boston.com reported.

While Guerrero is known as Brady’s “body coach”, that label significantly understates his exhaustive reach into Brady’s life. I had doctors with the highest and best education in our country tell us – tell me – that I wouldn’t be able to play football again [after his 2007 ACL injury], that I would need multiple surgeries on my knee from my staph infection, that I would need a new ACL, a new MCL, that I wouldn’t be able to play with my kids when I’m older. You need to be outside the box, you need to think differently if you want to sustain what for me is my peak performance, the very best that I can achieve as an athlete every day.
