Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?

The huge increase in sugar consumption in recent times is alarming and very detrimental to our

health

. As

such

, food and beverage manufacturers have increased the roll-out of these items, due to their high demand and gain.

However

, the affordability of sweet products is a major problem.

Hence

, I agree that sugary products be made expensive.

Firstly

, one of the most important

health

issues due to sugar consumption would be obesity.

For instance

, evidence shows that it is one of the major modifiable causes of many chronic diseases and even a risk for various forms of cancer. These diseases are usually long term and are mostly uncurable. To

this

end, I think it is important to reduce the risk of obesity as much as possible by increasing the price of these foods.

Similarly

, high ingestion of sweet items can lead to disruption of the digestive system and

also

affect dental

health

.

For example

, children have the sweetest tooth and they end up with stomach upset and diarrhoea after too many sugary products at once and

also

, it could lead to dental caries. As

such

, these caries causes enamel damage and severe diarrhoea could even lead to death. In all, making these things out of their budget is a way of protecting children's

health

. To conclude, having discussed how our

health

is damaged by the high consumption of sugary beverages and foods. It is better to protect lives and prevent chronic diseases caused by obesity and

also

protect children from the later effects.

As a result

, it is best to increase the price of these items.
