    If current trends continue, experts say, almost three in four adults could be overweight or obese by 2035, (1)bringing a host of health issues.
    Their work suggests a rise in the number of people who are overweight or obese would contribute to 4.6 million additional cases of type-2 diabetes and 1.6 million extra cases of heart disease by 2035.
    (2)The report recommends a number of ways to tackle this problem, including introducing a 20 pence per litre tax on sugary drinks and a review of how food is advertised online.
    Department of Health officials said they had already brought in a ban on adverts featuring junk food during children’s TV programmes and would be launching a childhood obesity strategy shortly.
