Market‐Based Nutrition Regulation and Adult BMI Dynamics in Latin America

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Market‐based nutrition policies, including interpretative labeling systems and taxes on sugar‐sweetened beverages (SSBs), have been widely adopted across Latin America to influence dietary choices and address rising obesity rates. While prior research documents change in food purchasing and product reformulation following these policies ...
