In this episode, we explore the health impacts of sugary drinks, some ways that can help reduce consumption, and how we can make sugary drink taxation equitable. Our guests are Dr. Tom Warshawski, Chair of Childhood Obesity Foundation and a consultant pediatrician based in Kelowna, and Dr. Jim Krieger, a professor at the University of Washington and the founder and Executive Director of Healthy Food America.
The Balance is recorded and produced by BCAHL’s Communications Manager on the traditional, unceded territories of the Syilx Okanagan People.
Thank you so much for listening.
