More than 60 percent of adults in our country do not meet the World Health Organization sugar guidelines. The more sugar you consume, the greater the risk of obesity and therefore type 2 diabetes.
That is why the National Sugar Challenge for the Diabetes Fund this year is also a way to support people in making healthy choices.
During the National Sugar Challenge, the aim is to eat and drink without sugar for seven days. This mainly concerns the free sugars. This is all added sugars plus the sugars present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit concentrate.
