Research by Knox and Jones-Smith Cited in Story on the Effects of Sweetened Beverage Taxes
Existing research has found that many Americans face adverse health effects from the over-consumption of added sugars, but policy solutions to address this problem remain the subject of ongoing debate. A recent article in Scripps News reviewed the results of a study from CSDE Affiliates Melissa Knox (Economics) and Jessica Jones-Smith (Health Systems and Population Health, Epidemiology), which found that lower-income households reduced their consumption of sweetened beverages by nearly 50% after taxes were implemented in several cities. Read the full article here and the authors’ recent study here.
