[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1025735, member: 88961"] Bearing in mind the lack of understanding of some clinical medical staff relating to diabetes, it's hardly surprising the correspondent's knowledge is sketchy at best. My understanding TV news correspondent are usually journalists, not medical staff (in this instance). Whilst it doesn't make it right, it's hardly surprising to me. On the wider note though, even if a sugar tax is introduced, I can't see it doing incredible things for consumption. If we think smoking, taxation may have trimmed the edges of the smoker population, with the real difference appearing to come after the ban in workplaces/pubs etc. [/QUOTE]
