Excessive consumption of sugary drinks is linked to rising rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs), placing a growing burden on families and the healthcare system. Increasing FED on these products can help reduce consumption, encourage healthier choices, generate revenue for public health programs, and protect future generations.

children by increasing tax on these products! #TaxSweetDrinsknotmedicine.

Always consume fruits in original form because they're high in fiber & thus
balance the sugar content. #TaxSweetDrinsknotmedicine.

Juicing the fruits releases a large amount of sugar in fruit which is not good for
your health. #TaxSweetDrinsknotmedicine.

WHO recommends fruits and vegetables in their original form, not juices. Let's follow their lead
