[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Action on Sugar has produced a seven-point plan to discourage children from consuming foods and soft drinks with high levels of added [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/97153.html]sugar[/url].[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The group wants measures brought in to cut added sugar in food by 40% by 2020, to cut fat in foods and to ban sports sponsorship by "junk food" companies.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The Department of Health has said it will consider the recommendations.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Action on Sugar is a group of specialists concerned with sugar and its effects on health. It says one in five 10 to 11-year-olds in the UK are now obese, while one in three are overweight.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The group has produced an action plan for the government following a request for its views from [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/97153.html]Health[/url] Secretary Jeremy Hunt.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The seven proposed measures are:[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][i] Reduce added sugars in food by 40% by 2020[/i][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][i] Ban all forms of targeted marketing of ultra-processed, unhealthy foods and drinks to children[/i][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][i] Disassociate physical activity with obesity by banning junk food sports sponsorships[/i][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][i] Reduce fat by 15% in ultra-processed foods by 2020[/i][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][i] Limit the availability of ultra-processed foods and sweetened soft drinks as well as reducing portion sizes[/i][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][i] Introduce a sugar tax to incentivise healthier food[/i][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The group's chairman, Prof Graham MacGregor, said current policies were not working and that obesity could be prevented if "the food environment is changed".[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"The UK requires the implementation of this [b]coherent（连贯的，一致的）[/b] strategy, starting by setting incremental sugar reduction targets for soft drinks this summer. No delays, no excuses," Prof MacGregor said.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Dr Aseem Malhotra, cardiologist and science director of Action on Sugar, said it was "really quite shameful that the food industry continues to spend billions in junk food advertising targeting children".[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"It's time to bust the myth of physical activity and [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/97153.html]obesity[/url] and dissociate junk food and sport," he added.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]A Department of Health spokesman said: "We know some people eat too many calories including sugar. Childhood obesity is at its lowest since 1998 but more should be done.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"Next week we will get expert scientific advice on sugar which will help shape future thinking. We will consider these recommendations as part of this."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Earlier this year Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer for England, said a sugar tax may have to be introduced to curb obesity rates.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]She told a committee of MPs that she believed "research will find sugar is addictive", and that "we may need to introduce a sugar tax".[/size][/font]
