MEXICO CITY， July 20 (Xinhua) -- Raising Mexico's tax on sugary soft drinks in conjunction with other measures can help reduce the country's expanding waistlines， experts said.
As Mexican lawmakers mull an initiative to double the current one-peso (0.05 U.S. dollar) tax on sugary beverages， health and nutrition experts are expressing support for the measure， but warning the tax alone cannot be seen as the only way.
Felipe Vadillo， a medical professor at Mexico's National Autonomous University (UNAM)， told Xinhua that overweight or obese， a problem that affects about half of all Mexicans -- more than 60 million out of a population of 120 million -- is a serious and complex problem caused by multiple factors， and drinking too much soda is just one of them.
According to doctors， overweight and obesity are known to increase blood pressure. High blood pressure is the leading cause of strokes. Excess weight also increases chances of developing other problems linked to strokes， including high cholesterol， high blood sugar and heart disease.
"More tax on sodas seems to me like a very good idea， as long as it isn't considered the only measure that is going to solve the problem，" said Vadillo.

The proposal， put forward by four senators， aims to cut Mexico's soda consumption， currently at around 163 liters per capita， by between 12 and 18 percent.
Backers of the tax say it has helped reduce consumption by 6 percent since it was first introduced in 2014， while soda manufacturers claim the tax only enriches the government and has had no affect in curbing sales.
