In recent times, many processed foods and beverages have been produced containing high levels of sugars which can cause serious health problems. Making sugary products more expensive to discourage people from buying them is a viable solution. I somewhat agree with
this
option. In Linking Words
this
essay, I will give my reasoning and provide a conclusion.

For instance

as diabetes, Alzheimers, hypertension, obesity etc. Linking Words
Hence

This
points to sugar being the culprit for the cause of these diseases in our society today.
In light of Linking Words
this
problem, making processed sugary products more expensive is a good way to stave off the general population. Linking Words
In addition
