Show Notes
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior is challenging Dunkin and Starbucks over their high-sugar drinks, suggesting potential federal limits on sugary coffee options. Kennedy criticized the high sugar content in iced coffees, exceeding federal guidelines, and Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey defended Dunkin. Health experts warn of risks linked to frequent sugary drink consumption, and while taxes and warning labels have shown effectiveness, a ban seems unlikely without new laws or state actions. Dunkin recently launched a zero-sugar energy drink, and the department has tightened food safety reviews, but details on next steps remain unclear.
