Members of the Public Chamber initiated a proposal to introduce a ban on the free sale of sweet carbonated drinks in those establishments where children can buy them without adult control: children's cafes, schools, hospitals.

The First Deputy Secretary of the Public Chamber, Mr. Hryb, recalls that drinking large amounts of soda inevitably leads to the development of obesity, various stomach diseases, and diabetes..

Uncontrolled consumption of children's favorite pops with a very high content of sugar, artificial additives, dyes, flavors, preservatives causes concern among the members of the Public Chamber in terms of the negative impact on public health.

Taking into account the above arguments, we can consider the conclusion that it is necessary to develop and adopt a regulatory legal act to regulate the production, distribution and consumption of non-alcoholic highly carbonated sugar-containing drinks is quite reasonable, if not self-evident.. The project will be developed by the Ministry of Health with the appropriate order from the Prime Minister..

Vyacheslav Hryb's message emphasizes that the appeal is not directed specifically against Coca-Cola or other world-famous American companies producing sweet soda, although no one denies the importance of the market for them..

The ban should cover the entire sphere of production and sale of carbonated sweet drinks, regardless of the country of origin.. The call to outlaw soda is primarily an expression of concern for the health of children, which foreign experts should also be concerned about..

The message also talks about the need for more promotion of drinks that at least do not have a detrimental effect on the health of the younger generation..
