High sugar prices good for Pakistan

HIGH SUGAR PRICES:

Published in DAWN on September 10, 2023

This is with reference to the editorial ‘Sugar prices’ (Sept 7). I believe high sugar prices would actually prove to be good for the country, as it will ensure less consumption of a commodity that is the cause of several health concerns. A sugar-heavy diet is linked to increased risk of heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity and poor dental health. If high prices result in reduction of sugar consumption, there will be fewer ailing and corpulent Pakistanis around.
