It is a meaningful measure to try out the three-color label of health tips for sugary drinks, which can improve consumers' awareness of sugary drinks and inspire people to be healthier and more wise in their diet choices. To some extent, this measure can help consumers better understand the sugar content of drinks and urge consumers to make healthier choices. However, this measure also faces some challenges and disputes, which need to be carefully considered and supervised in the implementation process.

First, the three-color logo of sugary drinks health tips helps to improve consumers' health awareness.

In modern life, the consumption of high-sugar drinks has gradually increased, leading to rising health problems such as obesity and diabetes. By marking the sugar content on the beverage package and using three colors of orange, red and green, orange means that the added sugar should be less than 25g every day, and red means that if consumers eat too much added sugar, they will increase the risk of dental caries and overweight. It is recommended not to drink or drink less sugary drinks. Green logo is to guide the public to understand the ingredient list and pay attention to the sugar content of drinks.

These three labels can let consumers know the sugar content of drinks and whether they are healthy, so that when buying drinks, they will consider health problems instead of blindly buying them.

Secondly, this measure can encourage food producers to reduce the sugar content of their products.

Facing the market competition and the health needs of consumers, food manufacturers may adjust the product formula and reduce the sugar content in order to obtain better logo color. This will help to reduce people's sugar intake as a whole, thus reducing the risk of obesity and related chronic diseases.

However, this measure has also caused some controversy. Some people think that labeling may oversimplify the problem and ignore the effects of other nutrients. For example, although a beverage has a low sugar content, it may contain high additives or artificial sweeteners, and it may also have adverse effects on health. In addition, when some people buy drinks, they mainly look at what taste they like, not at the ingredient list to choose drinks, so this logo is useless for people who choose drinks by taste.

So when buying drinks, you can consider choosing low-sugar or sugar-free drinks, especially carbonated drinks, fruit juice and coffee. Although there is no sugar in the ingredient list, if 100 ml beverage contains 5.2 grams of carbohydrates, the sugar content is almost 5 grams. Once it exceeds 5 grams, it can be considered as a sugary drink. Choosing low-sugar drinks can help reduce extra sugar intake and help control weight and blood sugar levels.
