Examples of such foods are biscuits, chocolate, pastries, desserts and cakes.

Refined sugar contains no nutrients other than carbohydrate.

Some practical steps:

  • Explain other members of the family, in particular children, that overeating of sugary foods affects the rest of our diet. Provide your family with drinks that have no added sugar.
  • If you normally take sugar in tea or coffee, gradually reduce its quantity. Follow the recommendations for weekly fat consumption.
  • Cutting down on sugar in our diet will lead to a reduction in fat consumption as well. (Butter and sugar, and cream and sugar, form the basis of many cakes and desserts.)  Avoid or limit foods high in sugar, such as ice-cream, and jam, and carefully read the labels on foods you suspect of containing sugar. “No added sugar” applies only to sucrose. Other calorie-containing sweeteners such as glucose or fructose are permissible additives.
