New York team attends Flatten Big Soda event

Our NY team joined dozens of other health advocacy groups, including the Center for Science and Public Interest in Time Square to unveil a billboard aimed at decreasing sugar beverage consumption particularly in youth.

Our team spoke about AHA’s commitment to decrease sugary beverage consumption and our advocacy work to make restaurant meals healthier and their ingredients more transparent to consumers. We know soda is damaging to the heart health of all people, but particularly can create lifelong health problems with youth. Through events like Flatten Big Soda, we can educate the community and let them know why they should stop consuming so many sugary drinks.
