Added sugars are often hidden in foods you wouldn't expect, such as salad dressings, sauces, and even savoury snacks. These added sugars can quickly add up and contribute to excessive sugar intake without us even realising it.

So, what can you do to reduce your sugar intake and improve your health?

First, it's essential to read food labels and be mindful of the added sugars in the foods and beverages you consume. Opt for whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible and limit your consumption of sugary snacks, drinks, and desserts. Instead, choose natural sources of sweetness like fruits, which also provide essential nutrients and fibre.

Additionally, be aware of the various names for sugar on food labels, such as high-fructose corn syrup, maltose, sucrose, and dextrose. These are all forms of added sugar that can contribute to the negative health effects of excessive sugar consumption.

Cooking at home and preparing your meals allows you to have control over the amount of sugar you add to your food.

While sugar may taste sweet and provide a quick source of energy, it's important to recognise that it's not good for you in excess. Excessive sugar intake can lead to weight gain, addiction-like responses, dental issues, metabolic problems, and an increased risk of chronic health conditions.
