Letter re: Delaying the Updated Nutrition Facts Labels
To HHS Secretary Honorable Tom Price and FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb
Americans consume added sugars, especially sugar-sweetened beverages, in amounts that are linked to a higher risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, tooth decay, and nutrient-poor diets. The new Nutrition Facts labels would also tell consumers how much of a day’s worth of added sugars a serving of food contains.
