Article Synopsis
- - A study was conducted to explore how advertising exposure to unhealthy foods impacts household purchases, focusing on households from London and North England with primarily female shoppers aged about 54.
- - Findings indicated that traditional advertising methods (like TV and print) were linked to higher purchases of high-energy foods, while digital and other media forms did not show a significant impact.
- - The results suggest a need for stricter regulations on traditional food advertising, particularly concerning sugary drinks, due to their strong influence on buying behaviors.
