This tax is being aimed at regulating the burden of obesity, among both adults as well as children. For instance, key countries such as Britain, Hungary, Finland, and France have introduced sugar taxes and levies aimed at reduction of obesity levels.

Several controversies associated specific high-intensity artificial sweetener types with potential health hazards, such as neurotoxicity, disruption of satiety mechanisms, cancer, and many more.

Moreover, approvals by eminent organizations, such as FDA, and favorable studies are further encouraging food and beverage companies to get back to these specific artificial sweetener types with minimum reluctance.
