A group funded by the Coca-Cola Company to combat obesity says it is disbanding after revelations about the beverage maker's involvement.
The Global Energy Balance Network says on its website that it is "discontinuing operations due to resource limitations".
The decision is effective immediately.
The group had previously said that it received an "unrestricted gift" from Coke and that the Atlanta-based soft drink giant had "no input" into its activities.
Last week, The Associated Press reported on emails showing that Coke helped with the selection of group leaders and suggested content for its website.
And Coke CEO Muhtar Kent acknowledged there wasn't enough transparency regarding the company's involvement.
Global Energy Balance Network did not respond on Monday night to a request for further comment.
