Sugary drinks should be targeted and taxed

THE EDITOR, Madam: Obesity rates in Jamaican boys doubled (a 100 per cent increase) between 2010 and 2017 while, among girls, rates increased by 50 per cent. Each sugary drink increases the risk of obesity by 60 per cent, contributing significantly to the rise in overweight. It leads to increased premature death (before the age of 70).
