Think before you drink display

Most people are aware that many foods contain large amounts of sugar which can lead to tooth decay, weight gain, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and even some cancers. This display will help you to raise the awareness around the sugar content in many popular drinks. 

Hydration is really important, the aim of this display is to help parents, Carer's and the general public make healthier choices. This display was updated, in response to the Soft Drinks Industry Levy which came into effect in April 2018. The Soft Drinks Levy Soft Drinks Industry Levy (britishsoftdrinks.com) is one part of the government’s plan to tackle childhood obesity.

Choose the drinks which are most relevant to your area of work, this will enable you to design your own bespoke display. You may wish to ADD small bags of sugar to each drinks using the weights in grams already worked out for you.
