Reduce health cost by increasing price of sugar

The soybean drink sold in the supermarkets average 10% sugar content. Soft drinks, milk, health drinks, non fat, no cholesterol, fruit juices all contribute 10% to 20% sugar content. Checked your instant coffee mix content? It is sometimes a whopping 50% sugar content!

To reduce health care cost, why not increase the price of sugar? So that manufacturers will not lace this addictive legal drug into our food and drinks system without a care.

And very strange, the low-sugar drinks are sold at a  much higher price! Isn't it less cost when there is less on an ingredient?
