A new Australian study reveals a 20% tax on sugary drinks could prevent 3.7 million cases of tooth decay and over 100,000 instances of tooth loss in the next 25 years—far beyond just fighting obesity. Experts say it’s time Australia caught up, citing UK success and potential to fund better dental care. While critics call it revenue-driven nonsense, researchers argue sugar and acidity in these drinks are major culprits—and energy drinks, even worse, were left out of the model. The goal? Make people rethink their habits or push brands to reformulate, ultimately saving millions in dental costs and improving oral health nationwide.
