Sugar tax and the slow crawl out of a health crisis

In the opening chapter of our Sugar Saga series, we took a look at the role a US sugar industry body – then known as the Sugar Research Foundation, played in the mid- to late 20th century in the promotion of sugar, by funding studies and advertising campaigns that would cast sugar in a favourable light.
Their actions would go on to influence public policy in their favour, encourage manufacturers to put more sugar in their products, and as stated by their president, Dr Henry Bohn Hass, a specialist in organic chemistry, in 1954, make sure that “people who never had a course in biochemistry are going to learn that sugar is what keeps every human being alive and with energy to face our daily problems”. ....

E-Mail
Led by a South African team at the South African Medical Research Council Centre for Health Economics and Decision Science (PRICELESS-SA) in the School of Public Health at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (Wits), and the University of the Western Cape, in partnership with the University of North Carolina, USA, the study was published on 8 April in

South Africa faces an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and cancers - diseases that can be linked to increased consumption of sugar, particularly from beverages.
Many countries, including Mexico, have used policies such as taxation to successfully curb consumption of sugary beverages. ....

Over the past few decades, as multinational food companies started losing out on market share in the West, they turned their attention on the “growth market” of poor consumers in sub-Saharan Africa. As a result, the continent has witnessed a surge in consumption of ultra-processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) – alongside an attendant spike in NCDs. ....
