Public Health Advocates to Promote SSB Warnings in Upcoming Webinar

California-based ChangeLab Solutions, an interdisciplinary public health
advocacy group focused on policy reform, is holding a September 24, 2014,
Webinar to discuss the potential impact of mandatory warning labels on
sugar-sweetened beverages in reducing the rates of youth and adult obesity
and diabetes.

Webinar panelists will reportedly discuss lessons learned from failed California
legislation (S.B. 1000) that would have required such warnings on SSBs,
resources for driving similar strategies at the state and local level, and SSB
warnings’ impact on the health of communities of color. Program faculty will
include a senior staff attorney at ChangeLab Solutions, the executive directors
of the California Center for Public Health Advocacy and Latino Coalition for
a Healthy California, and the director of health promotion policy at Center
for Science in the Public Interest. To learn more about the event, please click
