Sugar is the new Tobacco , so let ’ s treat it that Way
The UK government announced an introduction of a 20 % tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in 2017 . The World Health Organization ( WHO ) offers to tax sugary drinks by at least 20 % in order to curb the global epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes . We mustn ’ t forget that the substantial decline in tobacco consumption in the past three decades , which was the single most important factor driving a decrease in cardiovascular mortality during that period , only happened after legislative measures that targeted the affordability , availability , and acceptability of smoking .
A 15 % reduction in sugar consumption through such a tax would prevent 180,000 people in the UK from becoming obese within a year and a larger number from becoming overweight . The scientific evidence reveals that the positive health benefits for the whole population of such a tax goes beyond a mere reduction in calories . Studies show that :
• For every additional 150 sugar calories available for consumption , there is an 11-fold increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes .
• The prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the US population between 1988 and 2012 increased by 25 %.
• There is a trebling in cardiovascular mortality among US adults who consumed more than 25 % of calories from added sugar versus those who consumed less than 10 %.
• A study showed a significant reduction of triglycerides , LDL cholesterol , blood pressure , and fasting insulin within just 10 days in children with metabolic syndrome .
