This year’s HealthWatch debate has seized another hot topic and some brilliant speakers.

This year we’re delighted to welcome back our patron the evidence-based comedian Robin Ince as chairman while our four distinguished experts debate the motion “This house believes sugar is harmful so all sugary foods should be taxed, not just soft drinks”. Audience members will be asked to vote on the proposition both before and after the debate.

Panel members:

-          Dr Aseem Malhotra, Honorary Consultant Cardiologist, Lister Hospital Stevenage, and Advisor to the National Obesity Forum

-          Professor Richard Tiffin, Professor of Applied Economics, University of Reading

-          David A Bender, Emeritus Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry, University College London

-          Dr Carwyn Rhys Hooper, Institute of Medical and Biomedical Education, St George's, University of London
