“…We would argue that both approaches have merit and should be embraced—any single approach is likely to only carry a small effect size, and so we need as many different policies as possible in our portfolio of actions to make an appreciable difference. Population-level interventions often fall within the remit of national and local governments, with respective examples: levies on sugar sweetened beverages [ 20 ]; and local controls over establishing unhealthy food outlets near schools [ 21 ]. Individual-level interventions are often embedded in health care systems, involving facilitated access for individuals to interventions supporting the achievement of a healthy weight [ 22 ].…”

“…In Mexico, for example, the levy has increased the cost of sugar sweetened beverages by 15% with a decline in intake between 4 and 12% (25) . Recent data from the UK suggest that intakes per household have fallen by 10% since the introduction of the sugar levy (6) .…”
