A controversial tax on soft drinks is currently being debated in Mexico's Congress. But can a tax really reduce the nation's waistlines?

Over a third of Mexican adults are overweight, putting them way up the global league tables for obese nations.
A possible cause is found in another of Mexico's dubious honours - being the world's biggest consumer of soft drinks.
The health consequences are taking a hefty toll on the country's finances.
