Amid the growing concerns of obesity and the over indulgence of daily sugar intake by children, it has now emerged that supermarket own-brand colas are much cheaper than some bottled water.
Aseem Malhotra, cardiologist and science director of the campaign group Action on Sugar said, “Supermarkets have a responsibility to give shoppers more healthy choices and should not be promoting cheap sugary drinks. This seems to be a clear example where private profit is trumping public health.”
