“糖税”是指针对软饮料征收的一种税收或附加费，目的是使人们减少对含糖饮品的摄入。

 

In most forms the tax is designed to discourage the production, importation and purchase of carbonated, uncarbonated, sports and energy drinks, with excess levels of added sugar. Sugar in such sweetened beverages³ can be in the form of sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup⁴, or other caloric sweeteners.
