6 Ways To Break New York’s Sugar Habit

According to the CDC, limiting the availability and access to SSBs is a multi-prong effort. It requires our state’s legislators, decision makers, medical professionals and educators to work together. The strategies to reduce the consumption of these high energy-dense drinks include:

•    Offering ready access to free drinking water
•    Limiting access to SSBs
•    Limiting marketing of SSBs to children
•    Decreasing the cost of healthful beverages through differential pricing of SSBs
•    Including screening and counseling of SSB consumption as part of routine medical care
•    Expanding the knowledge and skills of medical care to conduct screening and counseling of SSB intake
