Volume of sugar sold in soft drinks drops by 29% in the U.K. 

New research finds that the volume of sugar in soft drinks sold in the U.K. has dropped nearly 30% in recent years.The new study looked at data between 2015-2018, and researchers observed that the total sales of high-sugar drinks dropped from 66 million liters in 2015 to 39 million liters last year. Conversely, the sales of drinks with zero sugar increased during this time, from 52 million liters to 74 million liters. At the same time, the overall sales of soft drinks increased by 5%. It remains to be seen how a new U.K. law — which taxes drinks based on the amount of sugar per volume they contain — will influence the sale of sugary beverages.
