Abstract

As members of the World Federation of Public Health Associations Non- Communicable Diseases Prevention & Health Promotion and Policy Working Groups, and other leading scholars of nutrition policy, health sciences, and economics, we would like to convey extreme concern over the Israeli Finance Minister’s decision to revoke the sweetened beverage tax as his first act on his first day in office.
