The Antigua and Barbuda Dental Association (ABDA) strongly supports the taxation of sugar- sweetened beverages (SSBs) to help reduce sugar consumption and improve public health.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

ABDA also supports the Sweet Talks initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the World Dental Federation 2024 Policy Statement adopted in Istanbul, the FDI, of which Antigua and Barbuda is now a Parliamentary member, advocates for the taxation of sugar-<\/p>

sweetened beverages. The Federation is composed of 193 member countries. Taxation of sugary beverages is a global effort and should not be viewed negatively in any way. It has been shown to improve population health. The FDI further emphasizes the importance of ongoing education and awareness to promote healthier choices and reduced sugar consumption.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Consider the following. A single can of soda contains 10 to 11 teaspoons of sugar. The World Health Organization recommends no more than 10 teaspoons per day, while the FDI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

recommends a maximum of 6 teaspoons. One can of soda already exceeds these daily recommendations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Excessive sugar intake harms both general and oral health. It contributes to rising rates of tooth decay, periodontal disease, gingival inflammation, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes. Some countries have even labeled sugar as \u201cthe white poison\u201d or \u201cthe new tobacco.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we know better, we can do better,\u201d said ABDA President, Dr. Deborah Akande. \u201cWe all need to drink more water. Young children can be trained to drink only water. Antigua is blessed with an abundance of fruits that can be used to make fresh juices for an occasional treat with<\/p>

little or no added sugar. Infants up to six months of age thrive best on breast milk alone, without juices or sugary foods.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Akande also noted that ABDA\u2019s Sunny Smiles Program will resume on 13 October, bringing oral health education, data collection, fluoride applications, and dental care to eight schools, and encouraging children to \u201cSay No to Sugars.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
