Sugary drink producers drop prices around the world to keep people addicted to their deadly drinks

“Overall in the countries we studied, a person in 2016 could buy 71 percent more sugar-sweetened beverages with the same share of their income than they could in 1990,” study co-author Jeffrey Drope of the American Cancer Society, noted in a press release. “Sugary drinks became even more affordable in developing countries, where 2016’s income could buy 89 percent more sugar-sweetened beverages than in 1990. That’s essentially half-price.”
