This research tries to analyse the effects that tax on sugar sweetened beverages have
on population’s health. Based on several investigations it is argued the relation found
between high sugar intake and obesity, type 2 diabetes and other non-communicable
diseases. It has been observed that this usually affect more notoriously children and
young people than adults. It is estimated capability of the tax to reduce notably the
consumption of this product due to a price elasticity close to the unity. It is also
observed the behaviour of the demand and the effects that has had on health the
introduction of the tax in others in other countries. The aim of this research is to
examine the previous literature about sugar sweetened beverages taxation, the
potential impact on its intake and the consequent reduction of overweigh, obesity and
other non-communicable diseases. [-]
