“…Several other countries, including Hungary, Finland, and France have raised taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages in the past few years. 22 In our study, 62.6% of participants consumed CSDs daily while only 9.8% consumed occasionally. Our results showed students drinking soda on a daily basis had higher scores for anxiety and depression compared with students consuming CSD only occasionally.…”

This cross-sectional study was used to investigate the association of carbonated soft drink (CSD) intake with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and bone health in university students in Pakistan. Daily intake of CSDs was significantly correlated with an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and low bone mineral density (BMD) (P-trend = .000) compared with consumption of less than 1 CSD per week. About one-third of participants reported a moderate anxiety level, 26.4% reported a moderate depression level, and 7.8% reported a severe depression level. Furthermore, 67.2% of participants classified with osteopenia and 8.6% classified with osteoporosis. University students having high consumption of CSDs had significantly higher levels of anxiety, depression, and low BMD.

“…Given that no country or jurisdiction has restricted or banned the promotion of discretionary foods, it is difficult to compare our results with findings from previous studies [an exception is ( 9 ), although they only analyse promotions on soft drinks]. However, there is a large literature on the positive effect of price promotions on the purchases of discretionary foods, and there is consistent evidence that promotions are effective in increasing sales (i.e., the effect of applying promotions, not eliminating them).…”

“…A key policy implication that arises from recognition of the strong relationship between environmental factors and obesity is that universal policies that apply to whole population groups, such as taxation, subsidies, regulation, reformulation and labeling are now being more heavily promoted, developed and tested in many countries (5)(6)(7). Recent examples include the introduction of a new tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in the UK from 2018 (8,9). An additional policy being considered in some countries is restrictions (i.e., banning) on the promotion or advertising of foods considered to be high in saturated fat and/or sugar and/or salt (10)(11)(12).…”

The purpose of the paper is to provide an ex-ante evaluation of banning price promotions for discretionary foods (e. g., such as confectionary, crisps, biscuits, sweet and savory snacks, cakes) in Scotland. The methodology consisted of the estimation of demand systems by socioeconomic groups (i.e., lifestage and income groups) for 19 food groups using a highly product disaggregated dataset. These results were used to simulate scenarios consisting of eliminating price promotions on the discretionary food products for the entire sample and by group and analyzing nutritional results. The results indicated a net impact of reducing energy by 651 kcal per capita per week (C.I. −695, −608)1. Similar results were found for macro nutrients. There were some significant differences across different income and lifestage groups, with kcal energy reductions being significantly greater amongst household with lower income, and in households where respondents were aged 45 years or over. The analysis concluded that restrictions on the promotion of foods considered to be high in saturated fat, sugar, or salt (HFSS) are seen as one measure to improve the overall nutritional quality of foods consumed. Results indicate that restricting promotions has the potential to reduce the number of calories, sugar, saturated fats and sodium for most food groups.

“…Scientific queries on the feasibility analysis of hemp seed and fibers (Aydoğan et al., 2020; Fortenbery & Bennett, 2004; Fortenbery & Mick, 2014; Hanchar, 2019; Schluttenhofer & Yuan, 2017) show regional variability in profit (Dogbe & Revoredo‐Giha, 2022; Johnson, 2013). Additionally, many studies (e.g., Brar et al., 2022; Finnan & Styles, 2013; Prade, 2011; Rehman et al., 2013) are unequivocal about the economic benefit of hemp feedstocks for bioenergy generation.…”

A recent renaissance of industrial hemp has been driven by a plethora of ecologically amicable products and their profitability. To identify its environment and economic fate across the value chain (VC), this study conducts a systematic review of 98 studies published in ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Scopus‐indexed journals. The thematic content of the articles is categorized using three deductively derived classification categories: lifecycle analysis (n = 40), VC analysis (n = 30), and feasibility analysis (n = 28). Bibliometric analysis indicates that the majority (>90%) of the studies were conducted in selected regions of Europe or North America, with further findings around regionally prioritized industrial hemp products, such as hempcrete in Southwest Europe, solid biofuel in North European states, and textile fiber and bio‐composites in East Europe and North America. Lifecycle analysis studies highlight nitrogenous fertilizer use during industrial hemp cultivation as a major ecological hotspot, which is taking a toll on the climate change index. However, hemp‐based products are generally climate‐friendly solutions when contrasted against their fossil fuel counterparts, with hempcrete in particular a highly touted carbon‐negative (−4.28 to −36.08 kg CO2 eq/m2) product. The review also identifies key issues within the hemp VC and presents innovative solutions alongside the recognition of value‐adding opportunities. Furthermore, feasibility analysis indicates unprofitability in using hemp for bioenergy production and there is a relative cost worthiness of hemp bio‐composites and hempcrete at the upstream level. Positive returns are observed under co‐production schemes. In contemplating the literature findings, we discussed and identified gap in existing literature for future exploration, including more studies to provide insights from the Global South, and the production of industrial hemp under a biophysically constrained landscape.
