Sugary drinks should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?

#drinks #people #sugar
Nowadays, the competition in sugary drink markets is obviously increasing, and the prices of the products are
also
 reasonable. Some
people
 agree that cheaper cost is the decisive factor in the enormous consumption of sugary
drinks
,
therefore
 the prices should be risen to encourage customers to consume
fewer
Correct quantifier usage

sugar
. Personally, I disagree with
this
 statement, I believe that
health
 education and awareness, as well as, healthy substitute sweeteners should be emphasised to make
people
 have less
sugar
 in their diet or choose wisely when they crave sweet
drinks
.
Health
 education should be taught more to encourage
people
 to have a high awareness of their
health
. They intake an immense amount of carbohydrates in each meal due to lacking comprehensive knowledge and medical concerns. If they learn that high blood glucose can lead to life-threatening problems, disabilities and death
such
 as stroke, heart attack, and leg amputation from Diabetic Mellitus (DM), they may continuously control their carbohydrate eating behaviours, and unhealthy sweetened
drinks
 may be less consumed eventually while the prices are not justified.
People
 should be encouraged more to ingest food that uses healthier
sugar
 substitutes. A prime example of these alternatives is stevia which is a sugary plant and is free of calories and
sugar
. These sweet leaves are suitable for those who control weight and blood glucose levels. While the costs of sugary drinkable goods stay reasonable, alternative sweetened
drinks
,
instead
 of typical ones, could become wise choices for anyone who loves sweetness but prefers to be healthy. In conclusion, the consumption of high carbs diet can lead to major diseases, disabilities and death. I strongly believe that
health
 education and awareness as well as the availability of healthy substitute sweeteners would be the key priorities to make
people
 concern more of their
health
, which could help them decrease or wisely choose their
sugar
 intake while they still can reasonably afford sugary products.
