Tax on Sugary Drinks Reduces Consumption Substantially


NPR reported today that soda taxes are working, possibly better than anyone imagined.

"Researchers at Drexel University surveyed residents of Philadelphia both before and after a 1.5-cent-per-ounce tax on sweetened drinks took effect. They also surveyed people in three other cities that don't have a beverage tax. The researchers found Philadelphians were about 40 percent less likely to drink sweetened beverages daily after the tax went into effect, compared with people in the other cities."
