Petition Require warning labels on soft drinks showing sugar content

I am asking that the Government requires health warnings on all soft drinks sold in the UK, showing how much sugar they contain. Sugar can lead to tooth decay and weight gain. Warning consumers of sugar content to could help improve people's health and reduce pressure on the NHS.

More details

I lost all my teeth at a young age due to drinking soft drinks. I was never warned about how much sugar is in soft drinks, and think this should be clearly labelled on soft drinks.

To help protect public health, lower the burden on the NHS and save taxpayers' cash, as soft drinks lead to tooth decay and increase risk of a range of health conditions, requiring health warnings on all soft drinks sold in the UK could help to lower the risk of people suffering from tooth decay and other health conditions in the future.
