The lower levels of baseline sugar
sweetened drink consumption
in the UK compared with the US may
in part explain why the effect on obesity that we estimate
in the UK is much less than that estimated
in the US.12 The differences with respect to other modelling studies may also be partly explained by their use of higher own price elasticity values for sugar
sweetened drinks than we have calculated and used here.18 22 52 We can not make direct comparisons between the results of our study and the results of recent studies of the effect of reducing sugar
sweetened drink consumption on body weight
in children, 5 7 as the relation between energy balance and change

in the price results
in a 9 % lower consumption of such

sweetened drinks leads to milk consumption being higher by 2 %, implying that milk is a substitute for sugar
sweetened drinks.
The number of people
in the UK who are obese is predicted to reduce by 1.3 % following the introduction of a tax on sugar
sweetened drinks
We chose to model the effects on body weight because good evidence (from both trials and epidemiological studies) links regular consumption of sugar
sweetened drinks to weight gain.8 10 12 Moreover, data from longitudinal studies support the idea that changes
in the price of sugar
sweetened drinks are linked to changes
in body weight.20 Other groups have used this form of modelling to estimate the effects of a sugar
sweetened drink tax on obesity.18 21 22
Change
in obese (BMI ≥ 30) and overweight (BMI ≥ 25) population for constituent countries

This is partly because the meta - analysis predominantly included studies with a high baseline consumption of sugar
sweetened drinks,
in which a tax may have greater potential to reduce energy intake.
In terms of substitution effects, the major difference between our estimates and those from the US is that our data indicate that diet soft
drinks are a substitute for sugar
sweetened drinks, whereas US data suggest that diet soft
drinks are a complement (as the price of sugar
sweetened drinks goes up, consumption of diet
drinks goes down).18 22 This may explain why a US tax on sugar
sweetened drinks has been so heavily resisted, as a «double whammy» on sales of both diet soft
drinks and sugar
sweetened drinks would occur.18.
