UW Health plans to stop selling sugar-sweetened beverages by the end of the year, a move it says makes it one of the first health care organizations in Wisconsin to eliminate sugary drinks as a way of encouraging patients, employees and visitors to consume healthier alternatives, reports the Wisconsin State Journal. UW Hospital will also remove deep fryers from its cafeteria in December.
The remaining drinks will include bottled water, sparkling waters, vitamin waters, flavor-infused spa water, fat-free and low-fat milk, 100 percent fruit juices, low-calorie sports drinks, unsweetened teas and diet soda. They will be color coded and priced to encourage the healthiest options.
