Moran AJ, et al. - Researchers determined the impact of health warning labels on sugar-sweetened beverages on health beliefs on beverage choice among parents. They randomized parents to a no label, calorie label, or warning label condition and inquired about the healthfulness of different beverages, and asked parents to select a beverage for their child in a choice task. Via regressions, the warning and calorie label groups were compared to the control group. Findings revealed that fruit drinks, sports drinks, and sweetened teas were increasingly promoted to youth. According to parents' perceptions, these beverages were healthier and less likely to cause disease than soda; such misperceptions could be corrected by warning labels.
