Topic: The impacts of the UK Soft Drinks Industry Levy on child health
Date: 17th December 2024
Speaker: Jean Adams
Jean Adams is a Professor of Dietary Public Health at the MRC Epidemiology Unit at Cambridge University. In this session, Jean discusses her research on the Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL), a key part of the UK government's childhood obesity strategy. The levy was designed to reduce sugary drink consumption by encouraging manufacturers to cut sugar from their products. Her presentation covers the effects of the levy on various child health outcomes, such as obesity, severe dental caries, and asthma exacerbations, as well as adolescents' responses to the policy.
