ICCR/EHLA UK Expert Conference
The Sugar Reduction Summit: Industry, Regulation and Public Health
On 22 September 2016, the International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk (ICCR) and the European Healthy Lifestyle Alliance (EHLA) UK partnered with The Sugar Reduction Summit to deliver a one-day conference for public health professionals, policymakers, industry representatives, academics, and health and wellness communities.
The day explored the impact of both legislative and voluntary action to reduce the impact of sugar on our health, and the science behind the need to change our lifestyles to incorporate not just a reduction in sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption but also healthier habits, namely to “eat well, drink well, move”.
