[LISTEN] The Science Inside – Sugar Tax

We all love the sweet side of life, but with the government planning to tax sugary drinks, we’re having a look at all things sugar.

Aviva Tugendhaft from Priceless tells us why the sugar tax will lower obesity.

Hamish van Wyk, from the Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology, talks to us about a type of diabetes that affects pregnant women.

We also speak to Mike Miles, CEO of the South African Bee Industry Organisation about bee ecology.

The Science Inside team is Elna Schütz, DJ Keyez, Buhle Ndweni and Relebone Myambo.
