Britain’s Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) has published a report
condemning government policies aimed at reducing the consumption of
sugar. “Just as fat seems to have been given an amnesty, so sugar is now
in the dock,” according to report co-authors Rob Lyons and Christopher
Snowdon. “So what exactly is the evidence that sugar is deadly? Can one
substance really be responsible for a plethora of chronic diseases? If so,
are the calls for action to reduce sugar consumption – including taxes
and regulations – justified?” See IEA News Release, July 15, 2015.
