Sweet Deception: The Sugar Conundrum in Public Health Guidance The sweet toothed public has been advised to cut back on sugary foods for years, but new research suggests this approach may not be effective.
A six month trial published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that reducing or increasing sweetness in one's diet had no significant impact on cravings or health markers linked to diabetes and heart disease.
This challenges organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO), which has long advocated for reducing sweet tasting foods as part of efforts to combat overweight and obesity.
