The ReThink Your Drink Campaign teaches the public to recognize the amount of sugar in sodas, sports drinks and other sweetened beverages and encourages them to make healthy drink choices. ReThink Your Drink lessons are presented in schools and other community settings.  The lessons explain how to read nutrition labels and recommend drinks such as water, low- or non-fat milk and limited amounts of 100-percent fruit juice.  The ReThink Your Drink Campaign also promotes improved access to fresh, clean drinking water in schools .

 

The ReThink Your Drink Campaign is intended to empower the community to make healthier drink choices. We welcome your ideas, suggestions and participation in making the ReThink Your Drink Campaign a great success!
