The BBC is reporting that the UK Government will start levying an extra "sugar" tax on sugary soft drinks from April 2018.
Apparently the tax will cause an 8p (10.5 cents US, 9.6 cents Euro) rise in the price of a can of Coke, Pepsi or Irn-Bru, and a 6p (7.8c US, 7.2c EU) rise in the cost of Fanta and Sprite.
Naturally, I like my carbs.
But I don't routinely drink carbonated soft drinks ("soda"), sugar sweetened or otherwise.
