A strategy depending on voluntary changes by industry has been associated with a 2% reduction in sugar, which is far short of the target of a 15% reduction.
Whether lemonade, cola, or another kind of soda, soft drinks are considered drivers for obesity and diabetes. Nevertheless, little progress is being made in reducing sugar in soft drinks. From 2015 to 2021, their sugar content fell by just 2%.
"Our data do not just show a slow rate reduction in Germany, they also show how it could be different. In the UK, the sugar content has fallen by almost 30% in the same timeframe, with similar baseline values," said Peter von Philipsborn, MD, MSc, main author of the study and chair for Public Health and Health Services Research at LMU.
Nonbinding political appeals to manufacturers will not have any relevant effect, said the Association of Diabetes Advice and Training Professions in Germany . It is therefore high time for binding preventive measures to encourage healthy nutrition and reduce economic costs.
