His views on the causes of the obesity epidemic\u2014that the body\u2019s feedback system for satiety is broken from over consumption of sugar, especially fructose\u2014are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/346\/bmj.f2287\">becoming increasingly heard and argued over in the scientific and medical communities<\/a>. What was interesting about his talk on Tuesday night was his favoured solution for tackling sugar consumption levels, which in the United Sates rose from 73lbs per person per year in 1970 to 113lbs in 2000 (if fruit juice is included).<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Lustig did not go down the expected road of a tax on sweetened food items, but said he would like to see a wholesale withdrawal of the subsidies granted to food producers. Everyone assumes the price of food would go up, according to Lustig. But in fact the price of everyday commodities would go down, except for sugar whose cost would increase by 35%. Job done. And a far more powerful leverage than the 10% tax introduced by Mexico in January 2014, which has already led to a fall in the sales of sugary drinks. And why tax the very thing that we have been subsidising, asked Lustig.<\/p>\n<p>Other panel members had different ideas. Aseem Malhotra, an interventional cardiologist and scientific director of the campaigning group Action on Sugar, said he would like to see hospitals banned from selling junk food. \u201cThe hospital environment should be healthy, but it has become a branding opportunity for the junk food industry,\u201d he told the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Philip Whalley, director of research at brokerage and investment firm CLSA London, said he favoured a sugar tax and accurate labelling of food. Earlier in the evening, we heard from Malhotra that a can of cola contains nine teaspoons of sugar\u2014150% of the amount that we have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/351\/bmj.h3894\">recently been told should make up our diet every day<\/a>. But the nutritional labelling on the can says the contents provide 39% of GDA (guideline daily amount) sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Winkler, emeritus professor of nutrition policy at London Metropolitan University, took a more pragmatic view, claiming that while removing agricultural subsidies would undoubtedly go towards the heart of the problem, \u201cwe have to look at what we might feasibly do.\u201d His one policy change would be a reformulation of mass market foods. \u201cWe have to start with the foods that people are eating now and try to improve their nutritional quality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>I also liked another point made earlier by Lustig. Because Mars is a wholly privately owned company and not beholden to shareholders, it does not have to keep a watchful eye on its margins in the same way as other large food manufacturers, such as Kraft, Kelloggs, and Coca Cola. It is looking at how it can remove some of the sugar in its products in advance of what could be a consumer backlash against overly sweetened foods. According to Whalley, shareholders should be asking similar things of other manufacturers by attending their AGMs, asking what they are doing about the sugar content of their products, and pushing for accurate and user friendly labelling. And by disinvesting if they don\u2019t like the response.<\/p>\n<p>The panel discussion was organised by Digital Science.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Zosia Kmietowicz<\/strong> is news editor at<\/em> The BMJ<em>.\u00a0You can follow Zosia <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/zosiamk\">@zosiamk<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Competing interests: None declared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The anti-sugar crusader Robert Lustig blew through town this week to film a documentary with chef Jamie Oliver, but stopped off on the way to take part in a panel [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/2015\/08\/06\/one-policy-to-reduce-sugar-intake-what-would-you-do\/\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-global-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Zosia Kmietowicz: One policy to reduce sugar intake\u2014what would you do?
