卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）发起”让美国再次健康”倡议，矛头直指两家大型咖啡连锁企业——唐恩都乐（Dunkin’）和星巴克（Starbucks）。
肯尼迪最近呼吁这两家公司证明其高糖饮料对青少年安全，并暗示特朗普政府可能限制人们早上饮用的咖啡。
“我们要请唐恩都乐和星巴克拿出安全数据，证明一个十几岁女孩饮用含有115克糖的冰咖啡是安全的。我认为他们做不到。”肯尼迪上月末表示。
唐恩都乐总部所在地马萨诸塞州州长莫拉·希利（Maura Healey）在社交平台X上回应肯尼迪，配文”尽管放马过来”（COME AND TAKE IT）并附上唐恩都乐纸杯图片。
今年早些时候发布的联邦饮食指南建议，一餐中添加糖不应超过10克——但据该咖啡连锁企业称，唐恩都乐菜单上几乎所有饮料都超过这一限制，至少有6款饮料含糖量超过100克。
“这与任何单一品牌无关。无论谁在销售，超加工食品和饮料对健康都有害。”哥伦比亚广播公司新闻评论员塞琳·古恩德（Céline Gounder）博士表示，”你日常选择的饮料真的不应该是液体糖果。”
研究表明，对含糖饮料征税和图片警示能减少消费量。古恩德博士称直接禁令不太可能实施。
“这需要新的立法和监管，或者州和地方政府在力所能及的范围内采取行动。”她说，”食品药品监督管理局不是糖的警察，也无法禁止饮料中的糖分。”
美国疾病控制与预防中心指出，频繁饮用含糖饮料与”体重增加、肥胖、2型糖尿病、心脏病、非酒精性肝病、龋齿和蛀牙”相关。
卫生与公众服务部表示已加强审查并堵塞漏洞，但未具体说明肯尼迪将采取何种措施阻止企业销售高糖饮料。
截至发稿时，唐恩都乐和星巴克尚未回应肯尼迪的评论。周四，唐恩都乐宣布推出六种口味的零糖能量饮料。

RFK Jr. challenges Dunkin’ and Starbucks over safety of sugary drinks
March 5, 2026 / 12:41 PM EST / CBS News
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is challenging two major coffee chains – Dunkin’ and Starbucks – as part of his “Make America Healthy Again” initiative.
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.
“We’re gonna ask Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, show us the safety data that show that it’s OK for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 grams of sugar in it. I don’t think they’re gonna be able to do it,” Kennedy said late last month.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, where Dunkin’ is based, responded to Kennedy on X, posting “COME AND TAKE IT” with an image of a Dunkin’ cup.
Federal dietary guidelines published earlier this year recommend meals should have no more than 10 grams of added sugar – but nearly every drink on the Dunkin’ menu exceeds that amount and at least six have more than 100 grams, according to the coffee chain.
“This isn’t about any one brand. Ultra-processed foods and beverages are bad for you, regardless of who happens to sell them,” said CBS News contributor Dr. Céline Gounder. “Your go-to beverage really shouldn’t be liquid candy.”
Studies show taxes on sugary drinks and photo warnings reduce consumption. Dr. Gounder said a direct ban is unlikely to happen.
“It’s gonna require either new legislation and regulation, or state and local governments stepping in where they can,” she said. “The FDA is not the sugar police and it can’t ban sugar from beverages.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, frequently drinking sugary drinks is associated with “weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, non-alcoholic liver disease, tooth decay and cavities.”
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.
Dunkin’ and Starbucks have not responded to Kennedy’s comments. On Thursday, Dunkin’ announced the release of a zero-sugar energy drink available in six flavors.
