RIVERA -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Health AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring chain restaurants to label menu items that have a high content of added sugars THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds added sugars include sugars that are added to foods and beverages during proc- essing. They include foods packaged as sweeteners, syrups and honey, and sugars from concentrated fruit or vegetable juices. They do not include naturally occurring sugars that are found in milk, fruits, and vegeta- bles. The daily value for added sugars established by the federal Food and Drug Administration is 50 grams per day based on a 2,000-calorie daily diet, equivalent to approximately 12 teaspoons. Healthy eating patterns that are relatively lower in added sugars, less than 50 grams per day, are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancers. Unfortunately, American adults consume an average of 17 teaspoons of added sugars per day, about 40 percent more than currently recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The leading source of added sugars in the American diet, accounting for 24 percent of our intake, is sugar-sweetened beverages-like soda, fruit drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, flavored milk, and sweetened coffee. These are followed closely by desserts and sweet snacks, which account for 19 percent of our added sugars intake. Sugary drinks contribute to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, in part by leading to weight gain, and are linked to a higher risk of dental cavities. Regularly consuming sugary drinks, seven or more serv- ings per week, is associated with a statistically significant 29 percent increase in risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, compared to EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
