Many people believe that the overconsumption of refined sugar is a major problem in the world and should be regulated the same as alcohol and tobacco. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

These days, needless to say that half of all shelves in a grocery store is stocking refined

sugar

sugar, hence

never before have people consumed much more

sugar

each day than now. Especially, since individuals are living sedentary lifestyles, working in offices,

this

excessive amount of

sugar

is simply not needed by the human body.

As a result

, the body has a difficulty to process and store the excess of

sugar

and

this

leads to various diseases.

Therefore

, I completely advocate for the idea that the overconsumption of refined

sugar

should be regulated as it can have a detrimental effect on individuals’ health and negative consequences to society when people consume

. Excessive amounts of

may result in the death.

Therefore

, the governments should create age restrictions on sales of concentrated

sugar

products in order to safeguard youth from early addictions, the same like alcohol and cigarettes. Nowadays the appalling data show that the obesity has started to affect small children starting from the age of 5. More than 40 percent of 16 to 19-year-olds are obese in the United States. The experts blame junk food making health status of the population worse. So, the

overconsumption

of sugary can affect both modern society and

next

generations. When a large proportion of the population suffers from

by high medical costs. The government is obliged to pay billions of dollars to cure

such

diseases.

Hence

,

this

phenomenon

affects the public treasury. The governments should impose taxes on the production of

such

products like too sugary drinks or sweets in order to make these goods more expensive and less desirable. Some countries have already imposed

such

tariffs on

sugar

-contained products,

for instance

, France has introduced a tax on sugary drinks at a national level and eventually the sales of soft drinks declined in the

next

years. In conclusion, the overconsumption of refined

sugar

is a major issue at a country level as well as on a global scale.

Therefore

, governments must take immediate actions to save their citizens from sugary products and improve the overall quality of life and life span.

people should look after their health starting with monitoring what they eat.
