Based on a study involving over 10,000 adolescents of both genders, researchers with Cornell University concluded that implementing taxes on soda could reduce consumption among males but not females.

The study was published in Health Economics.

“Taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are relatively new and there is limited evidence about their impact on SSB consumption or body mass index (BMI) (as opposed to prices, purchases, or sales), their impact on youth (as opposed to adults), or their impact in non-Western nations,” according to researchers.

The study included data on adolescents from the World Health Organization’s Global School-Based Student Health Survey.

Imposing taxes on soda reduced the intake by 11 percent among the male children involved.

“Taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are relatively new and there is limited evidence about their impact on SSB consumption or body mass index (BMI) (as opposed to prices, purchases, or sales), their impact on youth (as opposed to adults), or their impact in non-Western nations,” researchers asserted.

The findings were published on March 16th, 2022.
