Yesterday, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Global Diabetes Compact. It helps countries implement programmes to prevent and manage this disease, so that fewer people get sick, and those afflicted can receive quality care and affordable treatment.
Singapore is committed to this mission. It has been 5 years since we declared a “War on Diabetes”, and this battle goes on. We can win this battle through healthy lifestyles, early detection, and good disease management. The fight continues even amid the pandemic – diabetes complicates the treatment of many diseases, including COVID-19.
It is 100 years since scientists at the University of Toronto discovered insulin. This makes 2021 a particularly meaningful year to launch the Global Diabetes Compact, which Singapore strongly supports. Let’s continue to work together to tackle this disease. – LHL

太多關於『糖』對身體危害的研究資料,新加坡已經開始禁止含糖飲料廣告,政府可以無視於大家的健康,但你可以繼續忽視你和家人的健康嗎?真的不要再吃糖了!
『#新加坡即將成為第一個禁止含糖飲料廣告的國家』
新加坡將成為世界上第一個禁止高糖含量不健康飲料廣告的國家,這是新加坡正在進行的“抗擊糖尿病的鬥爭”的最新舉措。
這項禁令將適用於“最不健康”的含糖飲料,該禁令將覆蓋所有媒體平台,包括印刷,廣播和在線媒體。
他在星期四的新聞發布會上對記者說,這項決定是在以調查形式進行的“公眾諮詢”之後做出的。
該部在新聞稿中說,軟飲料,果汁,酸奶飲料和速溶咖啡都將受到新規定的影響。
該部還表示,它將在接下來的幾個月中繼續收集消費者和行業的反饋,然後再宣布明年的實施細節。
根據新規定,禁止刊登含糖量高的產品(例如軟飲料)的廣告。
根據新規定,禁止刊登含糖量高的產品(例如軟飲料)的廣告。
該部宣布除廣告禁令外,還要求含糖飲料在包裝前顯示顏色編碼的營養標籤,以列出營養質量和糖含量。
童說,這兩項措施只是該市抗擊糖尿病的第一步。另外兩個提議,包括徵收消費稅甚至徹底禁止高糖飲料的提議,仍在“議事日程”上。
他補充說:“我們打算更仔細地研究它們。” “我們希望找到長期可持續的措施,這些措施不僅會影響市場消費行為,而且會影響供應方面,以推動重新制定。”
