In South Korea, discussions around implementing a sugar tax have resurged. This tax targets drinks and foods with excessive sugar to address chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes. Over 120 countries have already adopted such a tax as of 2023. With high sugar consumption rates among South Korean youth and adults, proponents argue it's crucial for breaking the cycle of health issues and rising medical costs. However, critics worry about increased demand for artificial sweeteners, industry backlash, and inflation concerns.
