Abstract
Food taxes and subsidies have been implemented in many countries, and they have effectively improved the dietary patterns of populations and reduced disease risks, enhanced quality of life, and saved healthcare costs. However, the equity consequences of these interventions are not well understood. This study aims to assess the impact of sugar tax and fruit and vegetable subsidy programs on future health care spending for chronic disease management and treatment by income quintiles in Canada.
