It is now known: sugar is everywhere in our diet. A recent study by Anses reveals that 77% of products on supermarket shelves contain added sugars, particularly processed foods, whether sweet or savory products. This is how we find sugar in cold meats, pizzas or supermarket salads.
Consequently, “in France, the average sugar consumption is 90 grams per day, while the WHO recommends not exceeding 25 grams”, or six teaspoons, Dr Mélin reminds the newspaper 20 Minutes. A threshold largely exceeded just with a single glass of soda, which contains 34 grams in a 33 centiliter can. However, overconsumption of sugars (sucrose, caramel, sweeteners, etc.) causes numerous damages to health: obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, tooth decay (cavities), etc.
This is why the SOS Hepatitis and Liver Diseases association launched the “June without added sugars” challenge, in order to “reduce your consumption of added sugars, or even try to eliminate them completely”. If you have decided to take it on, tell us about your experience. Did you give up after two days? Are you already feeling the benefits of the experience?
