The research took into account 8,601 studies.
“Significant harmful associations between dietary sugar consumption and 18 endocrine/metabolic outcomes, 10 cardiovascular outcomes, seven cancer outcomes, and 10 other outcomes were detected,” noted the authors in their research.
“Moderate quality evidence suggested that the highest versus lowest dietary sugar consumption was associated with increased body weight and ectopic fatty accumulation .” The authors focused on free sugars, in other words, those added during the processing of foods, packaged as table sugar and other sweeteners, and those naturally occurring in food products such as syrups and honey, amongst others.“Reducing the consumption of free sugars or added sugars to below 25 g/day and limiting the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages to less than one serving/week are recommended to reduce the adverse effect of sugars on health,” they wrote in the study.
“As a nutrition researcher who served on both the 2010 and 2020 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committees, I can confirm that intake of dietary sugar in the U.S. is more than twice the recommended amount and while the direct impact of sugar itself offers minimal if any, nutritional benefits, it further replaces foods that do,”Linda Van Horn, professor emeritus of preventive medicine at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, who wasn’t involved in the study.
Reading nutritional labels and watching out for hidden sugars is a significant first step in reducing sugar intake and replacing sugary drinks with water sweetened with fruit slices.
