BACKGROUND Government and health organisations worldwide have recently reviewed the evidence on the role of dietary sugars in relation to health outcomes. Hence, it is timely to review current intakes of dietary sugars with respect to this guidance and as a benchmark for future surveillance. METHODS This review collates data from nationally representative dietary surveys across the world and ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the free sugars and calorie content of carbonated sugar-sweetened beverages (CSSB) available in the main UK supermarkets. STUDY DESIGN We carried out a cross-sectional survey in 2014 of 169 CSSB. METHODS The free sugars (sugars g/100 mL) and calorie (kcal/100 mL) were collected from product packaging and nutrient information panels of CSSB available in 9 main UK su...

Fructose drinks are being promoted among diabetics. We write this piece to clarify certain nutritional issues about these drinks. With regard to human nutrition, sugars in foods can be divided into two groups: sugars in intact fruits and vegetables (intrinsic sugars) and sugars that are added to food and drinks by manufacturers, cooks or consumers (added sugars), e.g. sucrose, fructose. Sucrose...

Public Health England has set a definition for free sugars in the UK in order to estimate intakes of free sugars in the National Diet and Nutrition Survey. This follows the recommendation from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in its 2015 report on Carbohydrates and Health that a definition of free sugars should be adopted. The definition of free sugars includes: all added sugars i...

responses to sugars in dry or liquid formvary from study to study. when fed in proper amounts, sugars should not depress ruminalph, and there is some evidence that they actuallyhelp toprevent a drop in ph after consuming largemeals of concentrate by maintaining a highernumberoflactate-fermenting bacteria. adding sugars doesprioritize the need for rumen degraded protein (rdp).we all know, sugars...
