On average, we consume one and a half to two times more sugar every day than is good for us. As of today, you can take on the challenge together with the Diabetes Fund to eat without added sugars for a week.
Sign up via Suiker-challenge.nl and you will receive the free magazine that is full of tips and 21 recipes without added sugars. A total of 30,000 people have already signed up for the challenge.
Hanneke Dessing, general director of the Diabetes Fund:'It is good for everyone to be aware of food and drinks without added sugars for a week. At the moment, half of the adults in the Netherlands are overweight and therefore have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. More than 1 million people have this form of diabetes and there are 1,000 more every week. By eating healthier with less added sugars, we can put a stop to this negative spiral together.'
