Sugary drinks, also known as sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), can be a major source of added sugars in everyday diets. These drinks include soda, fruit drinks, sports drinks, and energy drinks. Researchers are interested in ways to reduce SSB consumption. A study supported by the National Institutes of Health tested whether pictorial warning labels—pictures depicting potential health problems—could reduce parents’ purchases of SSBs compared with regular labels. They found that pictorial warnings were effective in encouraging parents to make healthier purchasing choices for their children.
