(2012).
A tax on sugary drinks would not be a panacea but it would be a sensible step in the right direction for public health.
Oliver Mytton and Mike Rayner suggests that a 20 per cent tax on sugary drinks is necessary to encourage better consumption habits and tackle obesity, diabetes and heart disease. It is argued that such economic disincentives could be the most effective mechanism for improving public well-being.
