Our Focus
Our focuses on improving nutrition, supporting breastfeeding, increasing physical activity, reducing obesity, and achieving health equity by reducing disparities. Disparities are differences in health status or access to health care across different geographic, racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. We support state and community partners by providing data, programs that work, and practical tools.
With a fiscal year 2022 budget of $115.6 million, we:
Measure and report trends in breastfeeding, nutrition, physical activity, and obesity at national, state, and territorial levels and for specific populations.
Study interventions to identify the best ways to create healthier environments in early care and education (ECE) facilities, worksites, hospitals, and communities.
Fund and help guide states, universities, and other community, national, and global partners to use programs that work.
Share information to help understand how to create environments that support healthy eating and active living at the community level.

Sugar
Regularly consuming foods and drinks high in sugar increases your risk of obesity and tooth decay.
Sugary foods and drinks are often high in energy (measured in kilojoules or calories), and if consumed too often can contribute to weight gain. They can also cause tooth decay, especially if eaten between meals.
Free sugars are any sugars added to foods or drinks or found naturally in honey, syrups, and unsweetened fruit juices and smoothies.
This is the type of sugar you should be cutting down on, rather than the sugar found in fruit and milk.

sugary fizzy drinks
sugary breakfast cereals
cakes

pastries and puddings
