i think Piobaire mentioned this somewhere else but I think it's important for people here to learn about LD50 before continuing this debate

What do they think should be done?
While the authors accept that sugar is “natural” and a “pleasure”, they argue that, like alcohol, too much of a good thing is toxic. Strategies to reduce consumption of alcohol and tobacco show that government controls, such as taxation and imposing age limits, work better than educating people. They make several proposals for controlling sugar, including:

•taxing any processed foods with added sugar, including drinks
•reducing the hours during which retailers can sell food containing added sugar
•tightening the licensing requirements on vending machines and snack bars selling sugary products
•controlling the numbers of fast food outlets and convenience stores
•limiting sales during school hours or imposing an age limit for drinks with added sugar
Finally, they argue that regulating sugar will not be easy, but it can be done with enough pressure for change, citing bans on smoking in public places as an example of what can be achieved.
