13 Jan 2020 --- There has been a 29 percent reduction in the total amount of sugar sold in UK soft drinks between 2015 and 2018. This is according to a study from the University of Oxford, which confirmed Public Health England (PHE)’s findings late last year that pointed to the success of the Soft Drink Industry Levy (SDIL). Sugar reduction has also spread to other areas of industry, with an independent study from the University of Leeds in the UK finding a 13 percent overall decrease in total sugar content in UK yogurts since 2016. Nevertheless, researchers from both studies flag that more changes are necessary to ensure good public health.
