Sugar consumption refers to the intake of sugars, primarily in the form of added sugars found in processed foods and beverages. Common sources include sugary drinks, candies, baked goods, and sauces. High sugar intake is linked to various health issues, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that added sugars should make up less than 10% of total daily caloric intake. Reducing sugar consumption can lead to improved health outcomes, such as better weight management and lower risk of chronic diseases. Awareness of nutrition labels can help individuals make informed choices about their sugar intake.
