On behalf of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, we are writing to express our strong support for federal efforts to reduce added sugars consumption and wish to highlight specific policies that the Department of Health and Human Services can implement now to support efforts to reduce added sugars consumption. We appreciate that both Secretary Kennedy and Commissioner Makary have committed to improving the health of the American people, and children in particular, through their work at HHS and the Food and Drug Administration. Moreover, the Secretary’s Make Our Children Healthy Again Assessment discusses the health impacts of high added sugars intake and the prevalence of added sugars throughout the U.S. food supply. To make real progress, our country needs policies to reduce added sugars overall, consumed in beverages and across the American diet.
