Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) published the latest sugar intake guidelines on its official website [1], and updated recommendations on sugar intake limits
.
The guidelines strongly recommend that the sugar intake of children and adults be controlled below 10% of the total energy intake to prevent obesity, dental caries and other health problems
The restriction recommendations in this guideline are mainly for "free sugars", which include additional sugars added during food production and cooking, as well as the monosaccharides and disaccharides contained in honey, fruit juices and syrups
.
The sugar contained in whole vegetables and fruits is not included, because there is no evidence that this part of sugar will bring health hazards
The WHO pointed out that more and more evidence now shows that increased intake of free sugars (especially from sweet drinks) can lead to weight gain, dental caries, and may increase the risk of other related chronic diseases
.
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies shows that reducing sugar intake can help reduce weight, and increased sugar intake will correspondingly lead to weight gain
