San Francisco residents may see warning signs on certain soda advertisements about the beverage's possible health hazards starting this summer.
But the battle over the warnings will continue even though a federal court denied a move by the American Beverage Association and other state associations to block the warnings.
The groups had tried to block the message from the beverage ads in the city that states: “WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay. This is a message from the City and County of San Francisco.”
San Francisco would be the first city to have warnings on publicly displayed soda ads.
