Oct 28 Mexican Senate committees on Wednesday agreed to eliminate a proposed tax cut on sugar-sweetened drinks which critics had said would hinder the fight against obesity in Latin America's second-largest economy. Mexicans are among the world's biggest drinkers of sodas made by companies like Coca-Cola Co and PepsiCo Inc , and in 2013, the country became the first major market to tax high-calorie soft drinks, by 1 peso per liter.
