Reply to comment by ubermeisters in The implementation of a soft drinks industry levy in the UK in 2018 was associated with an 8% reduction in obesity among 10-11 year old girls with the greatest reductions seen in those living in the most deprived areas. No such association was found in 10-11 year old boys or younger children. by shiruken

Companies are the ones paying the tax.

Ok. well I'm officially going to renounce any claim to know what I'm talking about then, and I'm going to stop talking and go freshen up on this. embarrassing to think I knew such fundamental things about this soft drink tax, just to be wrong twice in a row.

Thanks stranger.

Why is Coke dearer for full fat than Diet or Zero though? Just something I’ve noticed but seems the consumer gets stuffed too.
