Week 3
The questions we are asking to encourage debate are:-
‘Would you support action to reduce the amount of sugar in fizzy and sugary drinks? How do you feel about this and would it help you?’
A factsheet ‘Eat healthy foods and reduce sugary drinks’ is available in English and Welsh on the Cardiff & Vale University Health Board (UHB) website https://www.cardiffandvaleuhb.wales.nhs.uk/dph-annual-report-2014 . These factsheets contain lots of web-links and information about eating well and reducing sugary drinks and suggests actions for organisations, groups and individuals.
