The Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment provides research and analysis on evidence-based policies
and practices aimed at improving population-level health. In 2012, CDPHE began publishing bi-annual sugar sweetened beverage surveys to track state, regional, local and
institutional efforts aimed at reducing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption.
The goal is to provide information to decision makers and citizens interested
in public health policy and law.
Over the past three years, interventions to lower
sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption have continued to evolve and
proliferate across the nation and around the world. Reduction in SSB
consumption is linked to a decrease in diet-related disease and childhood
obesity, a lower risk of overweight among normal-weight adolescents, and weight
loss among overweight adolescents.
