Product Information

Sugars added to foods and drinks must be included in the ingredients list, which always starts with the ingredient that there's the most of. Limit the amount of fruit juice and smoothies you drink to a maximum of 150ml (a small glass) in total per day, and drink it with meals to reduce the risk of tooth decay. Sometimes you'll see a figure just for "Carbohydrate" and not for "Carbohydrate (of which sugars)".

If you're looking after children, swap any sugary drinks for water, lower-fat milk or sugar-free drinks. Dried fruit and your teeth For example, a can of cola can have as much as 9 cubes of sugar – more than the recommended daily limit for adults. Instead of sugary fizzy drinks or sugary squash, go for water, lower-fat milk, or sugar-free, diet or no-added-sugar drinks. While the amount of sugar in whole and lower-fat milk is the same, choosing lower-fat milk reduces your saturated fat intake. Rather than spreading high-sugar jam, marmalade, syrup, chocolate spread or honey on your toast, try a lower-fat spread, reduced-sugar jam or fruit spread, sliced banana or lower-fat cream cheese instead. But when fruit and vegetables are juiced or blended into a smoothie, the sugars are released. Once released, these sugars can damage teeth.

Method

Being overweight increases your risk of health problems such as heart disease, some cancers and type 2 diabetes. Sugars also occur naturally in foods such as fruit, vegetables and milk, but we do not need to cut down on these types of sugars.

Watch out for other words used to describe the sugars added to food and drinks, such as cane sugar, honey, brown sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice concentrate/purées, corn syrup, fructose, sucrose, glucose, crystalline sucrose, nectars (such as blossom), maple and agave syrups, dextrose, maltose, molasses and treacle. Try reducing the sugar you use in your recipes. It works for most things except jam, meringues and ice cream.
