FULL REPORT: bit.ly/4cLULgV
This week marks 6 years since the introduction of the #SoftDrinksIndustryLevy, and to celebrate, we've launched new research looking at the potential health benefits of substituting to lower salt and sugar products, as well as additional modelling on the potential environmental benefits too.
“This modelling of food substitutions shows that people making small changes to their diets in response to a sugar and salt tax could not only help to reduce obesity but could also reduce environmental impacts” says, @pateustachio @SHEFSGlobal
