In February
2012, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)
published a 50-state scan of sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) trends and policies. The February scan covered state, regional,
local and institutional efforts aimed at reducing SSB consumption. The goal was
to provide information to decision makers and citizens interested in public
health policy and law.
In the six
months following the February report, SSB proposals and initiatives around the
country have continued to evolve and proliferate. CDPHE is
committed to reporting on SSB reduction efforts to support public health
professionals, policymakers, CDPHE partners and Colorado residents concerned
with healthy eating and active living. This updated scan supports this commitment.
Please review and share this Update - Sugar Sweetened Beverage National Trends and Policies and contact Chris Lindley or Susan Motika with questions or concerns.
