The EU issues a protocol on scientific views on dietary intake of sugars

On August 10, the European Union's Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a protocol on scientific views on sugar dietary intake, according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
June 2016, the EU Food Safety Authority received a mandate from five national food authorities (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) to provide dietary reference values (DRVs) for sugars, especially added sugars.
assessment involved sugars (monosaccharine and second sugar) from a mixed diet ingested or orally, consisting mainly of: glucose, fructose, semi-lactose, sucrose, lactose, maltose and seaweed sugar.
are concerned about health problems with sugars and metabolic diseases and caries.
the final version of the Protocol was approved by the EUROPEAN Group of Experts on Dietary Products, Nutrition and Allergy (NDA) on 28 June 2018.
the original article as follows: In June 2016, EFSA received a capital from the national food competenties of five European countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) to provide a dietary reference value (DRV) for sugars, with special attention to added sugars. A draft protocol was developed with the aim of defining as much as possible beforehand the strategy that will be applied for collecting data, appraising the relevant evidence, and analysing and integrating the evidence in order to draw conclusions that will form the basis for the Scientific Opinion on sugars. As EFSA wished to seek advice from stakeholders on this draft protocol, the NDA Panel endorsed it for public consultation on 12 December 2017. The consultation was open from 9 January to 4 March 2018. A technical meeting with stakeholders was held in Brussels on 13 February 2018, during the consultation period. After consultation with stakeholders and the mandate requestors, EFSA interprets this mandate as a request to provide scientific advice on an Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for (total/added/free) sugars, i.e. the maximum level of total chronic daily intake of sugars (from all sources) judged to be unlikely to pose a risk of adverse health effects to humans. The assessment concerns the main types of sugars (mono‐ and disaccharides) found in mixed diets (i.e. glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, lactose, maltose and trehalose) taken through the oral route. The health outcomes of interest relate to the development of metabolic diseases and dental caries. The final version of the protocol was means by the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies on 28 June 2018.
