The empirical evidence thus far on sugar-sweetened beverage taxes fails to support claims that these taxes will create substantial health benefits. At the same time, their structural limitations make them ill-suited for generating stable, equitable revenue. Explore the latest report from @AdamJHoffer and Jacob Macumber-Rosin: hubs.ly/Q046CLBY0

💧Water is a daily priority at PepsiCo, not just during #WorldWaterWeek. Despite this summer's rain, freshwater availability is increasingly under threat in Belgium. That’s why we have partnered with @MijnNatuurpunt for many years to improve freshwater resources and boost local biodiversity in nature reserves around our crisps factory in Veurne, West Flanders. This collaboration is a key step in our ambition to reduce our absolute water use and replenish more than 100% of the water we consume in our operations back into local watersheds.
