- Summary:
- This book examines the proposal of imposing a tax on sugary drinks in Colombia as a strategy to promote public health and address the rising rates of obesity and overweight conditions. The authors, Diana C. León Torres, Alejandro Rodríguez Llach, and Diana Guarnizo Peralta, explore the effectiveness of such a tax, drawing on international examples and scientific evidence.
