Message about sugary drinks gets through at last

Prominent nutritionist Rosemary Stanton says the message that sugary drinks are bad for health is finally getting through to consumers. She says a decline in soft drink sales is linked to increased publicity around the harm of sweetened drinks. 

Nielsen data shows that while soft drinks are still among the most popular items sold at Australian supermarkets, they have dropped from ninth to tenth place over the past five years.

The ADAVB and ADA Inc. support the Rethink Sugary Drink campaign.
