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

It is widely believed that

health

is negatively affected by food and drink with lots of

sugar

.

Therefore

, those products should become more expensive to reduce

sugar

consumption. Personally, I can neither completely nor disagree with

this

statement for a variety of reasons. First of all, I partly agree that increasing the price of

sugar

products can decrease the number of obese people.

This

means that when sugary beverages like soda and energy drinks are taxed or priced higher than healthier alternatives like water and fruit juice, some consumers may switch to the latter to save money.

This

can lead to lower calorie intake, lower

sugar

intake, and better dental and metabolic

health

.

On the other hand

, I believe there can be some more approaches to help people consume less

sugar

.

Firstly

, public education campaigns and community programs can raise awareness of the

health

risks of excessive

sugar

consumption and provide resources for healthier eating.

This

is because people can be motivated to change their diets and lifestyles without having to pay higher prices with more information and support.

Secondly

, by requiring manufacturers to use more specific terms for added sugars and to display the amount in teaspoons or grams, consumers can be better informed and make more informed choices.

For instance

, food labels can be improved to show the

sugar

content more clearly and accurately. In conclusion, to help citizens to improve their

health

,

besides

making

sugar

items more costly in order to reduce usage, the government can

also

have several ways to encourage individuals to use other goods

instead

of

sugar

.
