How to Set up an Effective Food Tax?; Comment on “Food Taxes: A New Holy Grail?”
Whereas public information campaigns have failed to reverse the rising trend in obesity, economists support food taxes as they suggest they can force individuals to change their eating behavior and make the agro-food industry think more about healthy food products. Excise taxes based on the unhealthy nutrient content would be more effective since they impact more on unhealthy food products than...
متن کاملIn search of a holy grail: predicting cardiac resynchronization therapy outcomes by echocardiography.
“It came out of nowhere and captured the cardiology community by storm.” The cliché seems very appropriate when describing the impact of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on the treatment of heart failure. CRT improves survival rate in symptomatic patients 1 and is the only nonsurgical technique that provides substantial and stable reverse remodeling in both symptomatic and asymptomatic p...
متن کاملTaxing Sugar-Sweetened Beverages: Not a “Holy Grail” but a Cup at Least Half; Comment on “Food Taxes: A New Holy Grail?”
In this commentary, we argue for the implementation of a sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax as a tool to help address the global obesity and diabetes epidemics. Consumption of SSBs has increased exponentially over the last several decades, a trend that has been an important contributor to the obesity and diabetes epidemics. Prior evidence demonstrates that a SSB tax will likely decrease SSB con...
متن کاملMechanical dyssynchrony in CRT: still searching for the Holy Grail.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a cornerstone of modern day heart failure therapy due to the consistent reduction in morbidity and mortality observed in large-scale clinical trials in patients with a severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤35%), symptomatic heart failure, and a wide QRS complex. 5 The individual benefit derived from CRT, however, may vary considera...
متن کاملFood Taxes: A New Holy Grail?
In an effort to reduce the growing prevalence of overweight and obesity, food taxes have been introduced in several European countries, the so-called ‘obesitax’. As yet little evidence is at hand, policy measures are being taken to counterweight the consumption of unhealthy food or the increasing diet-related diseases. Several questions need to be discussed, starting from a general perspective:...
