The CEO of Public Health England (PHE) is calling for local councils and shopping centres to ban visits from Christmas trucks promoting Coca-Cola because of the role of sugar in childhood dental decay and obesity. In a letter, they called on the company to be more responsible in how it markets its products and highlighted the large numbers of young children in the city who were overweight, obese or have tooth decay. In a letter published on Wednesday, Dr Helen Stokes-Lampard said that children are being exposed to sugary drinks at an earlier age than ever before as they grow up with them more often.
