NY assemblyman wants cigarette-like labels on soft drinks
[SYRACUSE] A New York State assemblyman wants to label soda and other sugary drinks with cigarette-like health warnings.
Assemblyman Jeff Dinowitz (D-Bronx) has introduced a "Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Safety Warning Act", according to the New York Post. The act would require vendors to put labels on all sugary drinks that read: "SAFETY WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar contributes to obesity, diabetes and tooth decay."
