Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin

What was said

"Every taxpayer in England pays an extra £7,000 tax per year for the consequences of ultra-processed food. And this is because it's not just the cost of the drugs. The bigger cost is the people not paying tax themselves and not able to work because they're ill."

According to government figures cited by Dr. Unwin, the hidden cost of poor diet extends beyond healthcare to lost productivity, with two-thirds of the financial burden coming from people too ill to work and therefore not contributing tax revenue. This £7,000 annual per-taxpayer cost represents a massive economic drain from dietary-related illness.
