That this House notes that one in four people in the UK is obese, with two-thirds of the population overweight, and the growth of NHS costs associated with obesity and diabetes; further notes the link between added sugar in processed food and drink and obesity; notes that the maximum amount of added sugar the World Health Organisation recommends per day is six teaspoonfuls for women and nine for men, and that the promotion of high sugar products is often as low fat products; and calls on the Government to support food and drink labelling that expresses added sugar in teaspoonfuls, and to restrict the advertising of high sugar products as low fat products.
