High levels of
sugar
 are common in many manufactured
food
 and drink
products
. It’s often said that
products
 with
sugar
 inside should be more expensive in order to reduce the consumption of
sugar
. I disagree with
this
 statement because the poor might suffer from
this
 and simply making sugary
products
 more expensive can’t solve the
health
problems
 of
people
. Since
sugar
 is an essential nutrient ingredient for human bodies and the cost of producing
sugar
 is economical, many
people
 in the world are relying on them. There is no doubt that higher taxes on
sugar
 will have a significantly negative impact on the lives of many poor
people
. A large range of famine can happen because
people
 can’t afford their expenditure of
food
. Consider those who are living on another side of the world, might be affected by the tax policies of
sugar
 through worldwide trade.
Furthermore
, the
problems
 of
sugar
 consumption are not as easy as
people
 think. Straightforwardly increasing
sugar
 taxes can’t solve the
problems
.
For example
, in the
last
 century, cane
syrup
also
 led to multitudes of obesity
problems
 in society.
People
then
 started to seed its substitute so corn
syrup
 are created.
However
,
this
 kind of
syrup
 can be manufactured more cheaply and the ingredients inside are almost the same as cane
syrup
. So
people
 just killed a devil and
then
 created another one. The same can be said for the tax
problems
. If heavy taxes are added to
sugar
, a wide variety of
food
 additives will
consequently
 take the place of the original position of

the

sugar
. These
food
 additives can be more easily absorbed by human bodies and are cheaper. Even worse, many of them harm our
health
, which can result in more
health
problems
 compared to
sugar
. Making the price of sugary
products
 higher is not an ideal practice for solving
health
problems
 of
people
 because
this
 can affect many
people
 in the range of world as
sugar
 is so essential, and it might lead to more
health
 issues.
