foodwatch on new study on the health risks of sugar drinks
Germany lags miles behind
Luise Molling from the consumer organization foodwatch comments on new study results according to which millions of cases of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases worldwide are caused by sugary drinks every year:
"The data shows once again what a devastating effect cola, soda and co. have on human health. Liquid sugar makes us ill and costs society billions. More than 100 countries around the world are already putting limits on excess sugar with a soda tax - Germany is lagging miles behind when it comes to preventing diet-related diseases. The next German government must finally take action and introduce a manufacturer's levy on sweet drinks along the lines of the UK."
