What young Australians think about a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages.

CONCLUSIONS: Most young adults supported the idea of a tax on SSBs if tax revenue would be used to support healthy eating or physical activity. If a tax was introduced, most indicated that they would reduce their SSB consumption and substitute water for SSBs. Implications for public health: Policymakers can expect support from young people should an SSB tax be introduced in Australia. PMID: 30548948 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
