How is the beverage industry impacting children’s health and wellness in schools?
Our industry began by voluntarily putting School Beverage Guidelines that remove full-0calorie soft drinks from all school and provide students with lower-calorie, smaller-portion beverage options as a broade effort to teach children about the importance of a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Now a major portion of these guidelines is a part of the USDA’s guidelines for competitive foods in schools. Additionally, the beverage industry makes a wide variety of beverages that can help contribute to good health, such as bottled aters, 100 percent juice, sports drinks, ready-to-drink teas and no- and low-calorie soft drinks.

Obesity is a complex problem that is influenced by many factors, most importantly diet, exercise and genetics. It is not feasible to blame any one food product or beverage as being a sole contributor to obesity problems considering people consume calories from many different sources. No science supports such a claim. The key to living a healthy lifestyle is to incorporate a balanced, healthy diet that balances calories consumed and calories burned through activity and exercise.
