[QUOTE="jddukes, post: 939400, member: 49946"] The sugar tax is about saving lives. Mexico was a good example where benefit was seen in the first year. That's the point - reducing T2 diabetes incidence and amputations, heart disease, kidney failure and all the other complications. Lucozade is not the only option we have. We could easily by glucose tabs and make our own drink. Personally, an extra 20p for a bottle of Lucozade to save 1000s of lives and well being is a no brainer. Education doesn't matter when there is no cost implication. This has been all but proven with tobacco as a good example. I think also people need to look at other ways to better manage their diabetes I'd they are having to consistently rely on sugary drinks in such quantities as this is not the most healthiest way to treat your body and becomes a bit self defeating with regards to the point of exercise. It isn't always straightforward as everyone reacts differently to exercise but it shouldn't be overlooked! [/QUOTE]
