Researchers have created a 2026 calendar exposing how #UPF & #alcohol brands manufacture consumption "occasions" year-round. It features Prof Anna Gilmore's framework showing the systemic issue: corporations harm health, but governments pay the costs while private wealth increases.

📢 New report Alcohol marketing restrictions were meant to be in England’s 10 Year Health Plan. Then they disappeared. Our new report uses FOIs to show how alcohol industry lobbying targeted ministers and pressured government departments to kill the policy. www.ias.org.uk/report/now-y...

In our new FOI study we found that Budweiser directly urged Chancellor Rachel Reeves to intervene and "ensure" that DHSC removed alcohol marketing restrictions from the NHS’s 10 Year Health Plan. Health policy should be protected from industry influence. www.ias.org.uk/report/now-y...
