背景在英国，游离糖的摄入量是成年人指南摄入量的两倍多，儿童接近三倍，其中软饮料占相当大的比例。这项研究的目的是评估个别软饮料公司和消费者在2015至2018年间如何响应减少糖消费的呼吁，包括软饮料行业税(SDIL)。方法利用网上收集的7377种产品的营养成分数据，结合57家公司提供的195个品牌的批量销售数据，进行年度横断面研究。主要结果指标是销售量、含糖量和按公司和类别划分的糖类销售量，以总销售额和人均每日销售额表示。结果2015-2018年间，软饮料的人均糖类销售量下降了30%，相当于人均每天减少4.6克。软饮料的销售加权平均含糖量从2015年的4.4克/100毫升下降到2018年的2.9克/100毫升。受特别提款法管制的软饮料(即每100毫升含糖量超过5克)的总销量下跌50%，而低糖和零糖(<；5克/100毫升)饮料的销量则上升40%。结论软饮料行业减少产品中的糖分并改变其产品组合的行动，加上消费者购买的变化，导致英国软饮料中糖的销售总量和人均销售额大幅下降。2017年至2018年期间，变化速度加快，这也意味着，SDIL的实施起到了额外的激励作用，促使企业在现有基础上进行重新制定，这是对重新制定的自愿承诺的一部分，或由消费者偏好推动的销售变化。
Background The consumption of free sugars in the UK is more than double the guideline intake for adults and close to triple for children, with soft drinks representing a significant proportion. The aim of this study was to assess how individual soft drink companies and consumers have responded to calls to reduce sugar consumption, including the soft drink industry levy (SDIL), between 2015 and 2018. Methods This was an annual cross-sectional study using nutrient composition data of 7377 products collected online, paired with volume sales data for 195 brands offered by 57 companies. The main outcome measures were sales volume, sugar content and volume of sugars sold by company and category, expressed in total and per capita per day terms. Results Between 2015 and 2018, the volume of sugars sold per capita per day from soft drinks declined by 30%, equivalent to a reduction of 4.6 g per capita per day. The sales-weighted mean sugar content of soft drinks fell from 4.4 g/100 ml in 2015 to 2.9 g/100 ml in 2018. The total volume sales of soft drinks that are subject to the SDIL (i.e. contain more than 5 g/100 ml of sugar) fell by 50%, while volume sales of low- and zero-sugar (< 5 g/100 ml) drinks rose by 40%. Conclusion Action by the soft drinks industry to reduce sugar in products and change their product portfolios, coupled with changes in consumer purchasing, has led to a significant reduction in the total volume and per capita sales of sugars sold in soft drinks in the UK. The rate of change accelerated between 2017 and 2018, which also implies that the implementation of the SDIL acted as an extra incentive for companies to reformulate above and beyond what was already being done as part of voluntary commitments to reformulation, or changes in sales driven by consumer preferences.
