Summary: The study finds that a tax on sweetened beverages leads to a significant decrease in demand, but consumers mitigate this by cross-shopping to untaxed stores. This tax avoidance strategy severely constrains revenue generation and nutritional improvement, highlighting the importance of geographic coverage in policy decisions.

Summary: This study applies systems thinking to investigate the influences and impacts of sugar-sweetened beverage taxation. The findings suggest that influences and impacts may be cyclically linked, and the use of systems thinking methods in this area is relatively limited. A feedback-oriented conceptual framework is proposed to synthesize the evidence and guide further research and policy development.

Summary: Mexico implemented the world's first public health tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in 2014 to combat high rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The tax faced strong opposition from transnational food and beverage corporations, who funded research to discredit its effectiveness. However, independent peer-reviewed studies ultimately demonstrated the positive impact of the soda tax on public health.

Summary: The implementation of a sugar-sweetened beverage tax in Seattle led to an increase in sales and calories sold for sweets, while sales of salty snacks did not significantly change. This suggests that there was a modest substitution of sugary beverages for sweets, but the increase in sales and calories sold is not likely to offset the reduction in demand for taxed beverages.

Summary: The adoption of specific taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages is recommended as a measure to reduce consumption by international health agencies. A study in Brazil found that such taxation can effectively reduce the prevalence of obesity and high weight, especially among young adults.

Summary: After the implementation of the Health Promotion Levy (HPL) in South Africa, knowledge and risk perception of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) slightly increased, while tax awareness remained low. Only knowledge and intention to reduce SSB intake were significantly associated with taxed beverage intake.

Summary: The study simulated the impact of sugar-sweetened beverage taxes on consumption and retailers. It found that the geographic extent of the tax affects the pass-through rate of the tax, and the multi-product nature of retail groceries intensifies the competitive effect.

Summary: This article evaluates the redesigned Danish pesticide tax, which differentiates tax rates based on product harm and significantly increases prices on the most harmful pesticides. The study finds that the tax has been effective in reducing pesticide load by 16%, prompting substitution to less harmful products.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the factors influencing food choices and explore public perceptions of the need for government policies to improve diets, specifically food pricing interventions, in the UK. The results showed that food price, lack of time, availability, and food knowledge and culture were key factors leading to unhealthy food choices. Participants deemed the UK's individual, willpower-focused approach to tackling obesity ineffective and supported further government interventions. Product reformulation and increasing cooking classes in schools were accepted solutions. In conclusion, population-level interventions, such as reformulation and education, are needed to achieve the goal of halving childhood obesity by 2030.

Summary: This paper evaluates the effectiveness of restrictions on sugar-sweetened beverages in schools as a policy approach aimed at reversing the upward trend in obesity among adolescents. The results suggest that preferences for unhealthy foods may persist even after their availability is restricted in select environments.

Summary: The study found that 81% of South African news articles mentioned health issues related to the sugar-sweetened beverage tax, while 65% mentioned economic issues. 54% of the articles expressed support for the tax, with industry sources predominantly opposing it. Health reasons were the most common justifications for support, while economic harms were the most common justifications for opposition.

Summary: In Mexico, Chile and Colombia, policy debates on taxing sugar-sweetened beverages are based on coalitions for and against the policy. Intergovernmental support is crucial for framing policy aims, benefits and implementation, but the strong influence of transnational corporations poses a major constraint to implementation. Successful NCD prevention policies require support from government, grassroots organizations, policy champions and civil society groups, while governance arrangements need to address power asymmetries among different actors.

Summary: This commentary discusses the ambiguity in the UN Political Declaration of the 3rd High-Level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases, particularly in terms of multi-stakeholder partnerships and publicprivate partnerships in health governance. The authors argue that further research is needed to understand conflicts of interest and how they can be managed to safeguard global health governance. This ambiguity is seen as not just a result of the Political Declaration process but also a feature of multi-stakeholderism, which assumes commercial actors' interests align with the public interest.
