o For example, a recently study in San Francisco found that around 8.7% of the city’s obesity rates could be attributed to consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.

Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Youtho Marketers of soda and sugary
beverages aggressively target youth.

o Kids who drink a lot of soda don’t get enough of important nutrients like folate, vitamin A, and calcium.
![Page 25: Taxing Liquid Sugar: The lowdown on the sugar-sweetened beverage tax](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816564550346895dd7eb98/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Youtho Research has also shown that youth are particularly
more likely to reduce consumption upon increase in price.
o The obesity rate for kids in around 17.5%.Another study observed middle-school students over two school years, and concluded that their risk of obesity skyrocketed 60% for every additional sugary drink they consumed a day.

Potential Solution: Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Taxo What this means: A tax on all sugar-sweetened
beverages, including (non-diet) sodas, sweetened teas, fruit drinks, sports drinks, etc…
o Currently, 33 states have minor SSB taxes – but the taxes aren’t significant enough to create change.
![Page 27: Taxing Liquid Sugar: The lowdown on the sugar-sweetened beverage tax](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816564550346895dd7eb98/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Taxo Research demonstrates, and tobacco taxes prove, that raising the
price of unhealthy foods will most likely lead to reduced consumptiono Consequently, this tax could help reduce adult and childhood
obesity.o Additionally, money generated from the tax can be used to further
promote public health efforts in the U.S. Even if a tax of only 3 cents a soda was imposed, it could raise $51.6 billion in the next 10 years.
o This is needed, for obesity-related health problems cost America about $117 billion each year.
