Professor Jim Mann will be speaking at the Sugar Reduction Summit at London's Royal Society.

The Sugar Reduction Summit is the only event to provide a neutral and balanced platform for policy makers and key stakeholders within the health, scientific and food industries to come together and explore evidence-based research on the impact of sugar in our diets and debate whether sugar reduction should be a health priority. The Summit will explore the effectiveness of current initiatives and consider the practicalities of additional interventions in achieving reductions in sugar consumption.

Professor Mann is one of a number of illustrious presenters attending this summit. He will be addressing key topics on:

  • Should sugar reduction be a health priority?
  • Panel debate: Who's responsible: consumers, industry or government? What are the practical steps to reducing sugar consumption?
  • Sugar and disease – what do we know? Separating correlation from causality
