When talking about sugar, the difference between table sugar you use when you cook and industrial sugar that is used in ultra-processed food is striking. Unless you have a real disorder, too much sugar tastes bad. Industrial sugar like glucose syrup or HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) will not taste sweet. You won’t tell when it’s too much. With ultra-processed food you never have enough. People began to get fat when these industrial sugar were created. Before people ate sugar but were slim.

SDIL: ‘Lactose allowance’ is ‘unfair’ to plant-based businesses, sector claims The government this week announced that the sugar tax would now include milk-based and milk substitute drinks

The #sugartax extension has been deemed “unfair” by the #plantbased sector 🥛

They note the lack of allowance for naturally occurring sugars in dairy alternative drinks

Major soft drinks brands duck sugar levy extension in compromise deal Under the compromise proposals, plans to toughen the threshold of the tax to include drinks with more than 4g of sugar per 100ml have been amended to 4.5g

Hundreds of soft drinks products will escape the government’s extension of the #sugartax

Ministers bowed to pressure from the drinks industry to water down its proposals

Today's #Budget extended the sugar tax (SDIL) to milk-based and coffee drinks.

What's the likely impact on sugar intake?
A thread 🧵👇
#ChartOfTheDay #SugarTax

Sugar tax extended to canned lattes and milkshakes The government has confirmed that the soft drinks industry levy will be widened to cover a range of sweetened, milk-based drinks, bringing products like flavour

The chap from the opaquely funded IEA complaining about the #SugarTax on the news last year had real ‘waa waa waa I want my milkshake‘ man-baby energy.

Why do we take these think tanks seriously?

"REEVES SHAKE DOWN"
@finbarjameson.bsky.social for @dailystar.co.uk

#RachelReeves has refused to offer voters a sweetener in her #Budget – by extending the #SugarTax to cover milkshakes and more fizzy drinks.

Great - it was madness that they were excluded in the first place.

Sugar tax on milkshakes & lattes. Ffs it’s the nanny state. Grown adults are not allowed freedom of choice. No king size Mars bars, no supersize mcd and now a tax on milkshakes & lattes! F*ck off labour! Money grabbing bastards #labour #GutlessScum #SugarTax #laboursNannyState #AdultsCantChoose

Budget live updates: Sugar tax to include milk drinks for first time The changes mean packaged, sugary milk drinks will get more expensive from 2028 - unless their sugar content is cut below the threshold.

Not our fault - don’t blame the band !! - 🙏

Beyond fed up of being dictated to what we can/can’t eat & drink.

Not all of us ram our gobs full of fizzy drink & milkshake at every opportunity.

I totally understand where they’re coming from in targeting obesity but not all of us are irresponsible! 🤷‍♂️
#SugarTax #Budget2026

I’m a healthy weight and don’t drink a lot of fizzy soft drinks. I really dislike the flavour of sweeteners other than sugar. All that the #sugartax has done is curb the range of drinks I’ll buy because manufacturers have towed the government line and replaced sugar with horrible alternatives.

Budget live updates: Packaged milkshakes and lattes to be included in sugar tax for first time in UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting announces the changes ahead of tomorrow's Budget.

🧋 A NEW sugar tax on milkshakes and lattes has just been announced. Our work found the #sugartax has been beneficial for children's health (obesity, dental & asthma) & has reduced sugar intake. This is evidence-informed public health policy in action www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg...

Isn’t it time to stop calling ultra processed food - ‘food’…. ?

Sugar tax should only apply to ‘added sugar’, milkshake makers warn Chancellor Rachel Reeves is expected to remove the tax-based exemption for milk-based beverages under the Soft Drinks Industry Levy as a part of the budget later this month

Milkshake manufacturers plea to Rachel Reeves for changes to the #sugartax to only apply to added sugars

Grafica con sfondo di bottiglie di plastica accatastate e una mano che versa zucchero da una lattina. Testo: “Nuovo rinvio della Sugar Tax e della Plastic Tax al 2027. Il governo rinuncia a 680 milioni nel 2026 per non scontentare i grandi gruppi del monouso e delle bevande zuccherate. È scegliere il consenso, non il bene del Paese.”

Rinviare la #SugarTax e la #PlasticTax al 2027 significa rinunciare a 680 milioni che potevano andare a sanità e prevenzione. Si tutela il monouso, non la salute.
Serve visione, non rinvii: l’Italia merita scelte più coraggiose. #ambiente #salute #politica #VoltItalia

UAE 🇦🇪 is getting a sugar tax revamp! 🍬➡️💰 Current 50% flat rate on sugary drinks is changing Jan 1, 2026. Get ready for tiered taxes based on sugar content! #SugarTax #UAE #Health

✅ Save lives
✅ Raise revenue

Rollins extends sugary drinks ban to six more states (The Center Square) - U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins approved six waivers to exclude sodas and energy drinks from federal nutrition programs on Monday.

Ask Toni Preckwinkle about her #SugarTax. It turned out that baby formula was included because it has sugar in it. I don't see any discussion about how other foods will be supplied to food desserts in poor areas. IMHO, dumb! www.thecentersquare.com/national/art...

Maybe @Pepsi @sainsburys @Asda @Tesco @Morrisons @Aldi @Lidl should learn from @CocaCola and stop sneaking sweeteners into thier cola.

Dear @Morrisons, why do you add sweeteners to your cola & still charge more for it as if paying the sugar tax? Couldn't you be accused of trying to rip off customers?
