In 20 15, the World Health Organization issued a sugar intake guide in official website, which updated the suggestions on sugar intake restriction, and strongly suggested that the sugar intake of children and adults should be controlled below 10% of the total energy intake to prevent health problems such as obesity and dental caries.
The new version of Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (20 16) first proposed to limit the intake of added sugar, which should not exceed 50g per day, preferably within 25g. Added sugar refers to monosaccharide, disaccharide or sugar alcohol added during food cooking and processing. Excessive intake of added sugar will increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and other diseases.
It is impossible for us to measure the sugar content in our daily diet. Usually, the main sources of sugar intake are sugary drinks, desserts, cakes, white sugar, preserves, sugar alcohols and so on. Such food should be eaten as little as possible.
Extended data:
Sugar restriction means changing eating habits.
It is not easy to limit sugar, but for the sake of health, sugar must be controlled like salt. For consumers themselves, limiting sugar means changing their eating habits. For example, people who are used to adding sugar to coffee can gradually reduce the amount of sugar; People who used to spread sweet fruit sauce on bread changed their habits.
At the same time, eat out as little as possible. When buying prepackaged foods, pay attention to the food label, check the sugar content per100g of food, and try to choose foods with less sugar content.
