• Added caloric sweeteners in beverages seem to involve special health risks, such as diabetes. (The jury is still out on low-calorie sweeteners and 100% fruit juices.) Chile, Mexico, and the US lead the league table.
• Most food and most beverage calories consumed in the US come from items with added sweeteners. In recent years, the US has seen some movement away from beverages with added caloric sweeteners.
• As incomes rise, much of the rest of the world is adopting US-style added-caloric-sweetener habits.
• Early studies of sweet taxes suggest that they do dissuade consumption, and possibly even lead to changes in the composition of food items.
• Sustained public information campaigns employing multiple channels of dissemination can dissuade unhealthy behaviors. The precise right approach (or approaches) to label information and warnings remains unresolved.
• Many jurisdictions have imposed restrictions on sugar marketing and in-school availability, as well as promoting public awareness and requiring nutritional information and warnings on packaging.
