New healthier beverage guidelines from Healthy Eating Research (HER).

Beverage choices contribute significantly to dietary and caloric intake in the United States. Choosing healthy beverages and other lower-calorie options, instead of high-calorie, sugar-sweetened beverages, has great potential to help Americans reduce caloric intake, improve diet quality, and reduce their risk for obesity.
Healthy Eating Research, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, convened an expert advisory panel to develop a comprehensive set of age-based recommendations to define healthier beverages: Healthier Beverage Recommendations<http://www.rwjf.org/en/research-publications/find-rwjf-research/2013/03/recommendations-for-healthier-beverages.html>. Implementation of the recommendations for healthier beverages across a variety of places and environments, such as child-care, schools, workplaces, parks, recreational facilities, and hospitals will help improve the health of all Americans.
