[QUOTE="azure, post: 1494426, member: 39639"] If people have never had a 'freefall hypo', I don't think they can really appreciate the value of Lucozade and similar glucose drinks. It's not just a matter of taste or personal choice. Sometimes you really need the very fast hit of glucose. Having to drink double the quantity to get the same amount of glucose isn't an option always as it's the concentrated liquid hit that's needed. I don't really see the Sugar Tax as so much a nanny state thing as a simplistic response to a complex problem. It might sound great, but in practice, I dnt believe it will work. Years ago, there were hardly any diet soft drinks. They all had sugar. Yet people weren't as overweight then. The problems of obesity and poor diet are far more related to things like poverty, availability of fresh foods, education, cooking skills and activity levels. [/QUOTE]
