Junk food tax 'could save thousands of lives', it is claimed

Junk food tax 'could save thousands of lives' - Telegraph

Extract:

"Dr Mike Rayner, from the Department of Public Health at Oxford University, evaluated different approaches that ranged from taxing food high in saturated fat and taxing all food that is high in salt, fat, and sugar. He found that taxing food with a lot of saturated fat increased death rates because it did not take the salt content into account."

And there you have it! - It's salt intake that's the problem (for people vulnerable to salt). - Fat intake is not in itself the problem. - When people are sensitive to salt (that's everyone who is overweight or obese) then eating salt not only causes water retention (and therefore above normal weight) but also can cause FAT RETENTION. - Fat retention can be reduced or eliminated by increasing calcium intake. - See BBC webpage about calcium from The Truth About Food series of programmes
