Eur J Clin Nutr70 (6): 681–6. doi:10.1038/ejcn.2016.6. PMID27071513. "The saturated fat tax was abolished after a unanimous act of the Danish parliament of 10 November 2012, before the health impact of the tax had been evaluated. The primary reason presented for the abolition of the tax was the impact that it had had on cross border trade with concerns that Danes were travelling to Germany and Sweden to buy butter and other high-saturated fat products at reduced prices as well as concerns about the effect that the tax-induced increase in consumer prices might have on competitiveness due to wage pressure."
