Jamie Oliver: Sugar is killing the NHS

Jamie Oliver says preventable problems like tooth decay and Type 2 diabetes are costing the NHS thousands of pounds and causing it to crumble.

He told Afternoon Edition's Sarah Brett that he hopes the public will support his new documentary on sugar, and his plans to lobby the Government for a sugar tax.

He predicted a backlash however, saying: "I'm willing to get a really good kicking" in the press over the new campaign.
