Why focus on SSBs?According to the CDC, consumption of SSBs in the United States is currently estimated at 224 calories per day (11% of total calories) among youth and 203 calories per day (9% of total calories) among adults. On an average day 63% of adults and 80% of youth consume SSB’s. High consumption of SSB is linked to obesity and other health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dental cavities, gout, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, elevated triglycerides and elevated uric acid levels.
The New York State Association of County Health Officials (NYSACHO), responding to evidence that connects obesity and related illnesses to excess sugar consumption, has developed this web site to help NY State residents become better informed, decrease their sugar consumption, and lead healthier lives. |
