Kennedy Jr. is challenging two major coffee chains \u2013 Dunkin&#8217; and Starbucks \u2013 as part of his &#8220;Make America Healthy Again&#8221; initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy recently called on the two companies to prove their high-sugar drinks are safe for teenagers and suggested the Trump administration could place limits on your morning cup of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re gonna ask Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, show us the safety data that show that it&#8217;s OK for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 grams of sugar in it. I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re gonna be able to do it,&#8221; Kennedy said late last month.<\/p>\n<p>Massachusetts Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MassGovernor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Maura Healey<\/a>, where Dunkin&#8217; is based, responded to Kennedy on X, posting &#8220;COME AND TAKE IT&#8221; with an image of a Dunkin&#8217; cup.<\/p>\n<p>Federal dietary guidelines published earlier this year recommend meals should have no more than 10 grams of added sugar \u2013 but nearly every drink on the Dunkin&#8217; menu exceeds that amount and at least six have more than 100 grams, according to the coffee chain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This isn&#8217;t about any one brand. Ultra-processed foods and beverages are bad for you, regardless of who happens to sell them,&#8221; said CBS News contributor Dr. C\u00e9line Gounder. &#8220;Your go-to beverage really shouldn&#8217;t be liquid candy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Studies show taxes on sugary drinks and photo warnings reduce consumption. Dr. Gounder said a direct ban is unlikely to happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s gonna require either new legislation and regulation, or state and local governments stepping in where they can,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The FDA is not the sugar police and it can&#8217;t ban sugar from beverages.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nutrition\/php\/data-research\/sugar-sweetened-beverages.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>, frequently drinking sugary drinks is associated with &#8220;weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, non-alcoholic liver disease, tooth decay and cavities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Health and Human Services said it has strengthened reviews and closed loopholes, but did not clarify what action Kennedy may take to stop businesses from selling high-sugar drinks.<\/p>\n<p>Dunkin&#8217; and Starbucks have not responded to Kennedy&#8217;s comments. On Thursday, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.dunkindonuts.com\/news\/spring-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dunkin&#8217;<\/a> announced the release of a zero-sugar energy drink available in six flavors.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n        <\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/rfk-jr-challenges-dunkin-starbucks-sugary-drinks-safety\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
