Tax on soft drinks slashed people’s sugar consumption – study

Since 2018, the UK has had a tax on sugar in soft drinks. According to a study, the amount of sugar that children there consume through lemonades and the like halved within a year of the introduction of the tax. Experts believe that expanding to other foods and drinks with high sugar content is now “self-evident,” as the “Guardian” reported on Wednesday.

Seit 2018 gilt in Großbritannien eine Steuer auf Zucker in Erfrischungsgetränken. Laut einer Studie halbierte sich die Zuckermenge, die Kinder dort durch Limonaden und Ähnliches zu sich nehmen, innerhalb eines Jahres nach Einführung der Steuer. Fachleute meinen, eine Ausweitung auf andere Lebensmittel und Getränke mit hohem Zuckergehalt sei nun „selbstverständlich“, wie der „Guardian“ am Mittwoch berichtete.
