为减少糖尿病比例 我国或成首个禁含糖量高饮料广告国家

为了能够制止糖尿病比例上升,我国成为首个禁止含糖量非常高的包装饮料的广告的国家。在含糖量高的饮料必须贴上“不健康”的提示警告。

无论是瓶装、罐、二合一或三合一的即溶饮料、汽水、果汁、酸奶等饮料,若含糖量超标,将需换上营养包装。

《海峡时报》报导,卫生部高级政务部长唐振辉今日(10日)宣布上述消息,并表示鼓励换包装是为了民众能够作出更明智的选择,同时也促使业者将饮料的含糖量减少。他指出,包装上将会贴上含有不同颜色的标签表示含糖量等级。其中已有30多个国家开始实施这项措施,例如智力在实施该项措施后,其不健康饮料的销售量降低25巴仙。

当然含糖量并非是饮料上唯一成为不健康饮料的因素,其中也包括其他的因素,如饱和脂肪。而不健康的饮料将会贴上“不健康的标签“,但针对健康饮料可以用该标签作为广告。唐振辉表示,鼓励生产健康饮料的业者妥善使用该标签,为自己的饮料大力推广。

唐振辉表示,每天多喝250毫升的单链结合蛋白(SSB)会增加高达26巴仙的糖尿病风险。日前,也有调查指出,新加坡人每日都会从含糖饮料中,摄取的超过六茶匙的糖分,同时也导致了新加坡主要健康问题。

当局也将随着法国的措施,推出以字母和颜色区分的标签,共五个等级,A级为最健康、E级为最不健康。目前当局策划将强制C到E级较不健康的饮料印上标签,A级和B级则无需这么做。E级高糖饮料则将被禁止在所有大众传媒打广告,包括电视、网络、纸媒或是巴士站等户外场所。

专家:糖税有利于抑制民众过多摄取糖分

尽管一直在劝导民众减少摄取糖分,但许多业者在饮料上并没有降低至每250毫升5茶匙的平均含量,甚至部分饮料还超过了每250毫升8茶匙的糖分,而高含糖饮料又尤其受到民众欢迎。

对此,卫生部与健康促进委员向4000多名公众、厂商和专家等,征询有关四大减糖措施的看法包括强制性贴上营养标签,宣传限制、征收糖税、以及禁止高糖分饮料。七成以上的人支持强制性贴上营养标签,逾八成的人支持分级标签。

在质询期间,饮料业者曾强烈反对对高糖饮料征收糖税或实施禁令,并声称不会因此而减少糖的消耗。而也有人提出该四项措施除了针对饮料以外,也应该针对所有含糖食物。

卫生部指出,有人担心即使禁止了含糖饮料但消费者可能也会用其他食物来代替糖分所需。

新加坡国立大学公共卫生学院院长Teo Yik Ying 对此称赞此举是“朝着正确的方向前进“,此外,还需要推广以家庭作为榜样的健康运动,因为孩子很大程度上反映了父母的行为。同时,他也表示很庆幸卫生部没有放弃征收糖税的想法。

“它(糖税)致力于抑制消费,暗示民众不要过度摄取糖分,也对民众也起到警觉的作用“,他说。
