DESCRIPTION:Approximately a year after the implementation of the soft drin
 ks industry levy\, the UK plans to leave the European Union. The trade arr
 angements that the UK will adopt after Brexit are likely to influence the 
 price of food and food ingredients including sugar\, which currently follo
 ws European regulations under the Common Agricultural Policy. This could p
 otentially interfere with the effectiveness of the planned soft drinks ind
 ustry levy. We used the IMPACT Food Policy model to estimate the implicati
 ons of Brexit on the price of sugar and the impact of the proposed soft dr
 inks industry levy on cardiovascular mortality and inequalities in England
