d: Sugar-laden drinks are mini-health timebombs, contributing to dental diseases, obesity and a host of life-threatening illnesses which cost the NHS billions each year. We are delighted that so many organisations want to challenge the Government to show it has a public health backbone by including a sugary drinks duty in Budget 2013. Its a simple and easy-to-understand measure which will help save lives by reducing sugar in our diets and raising much needed money to protect childrens health.
