Not such sweet news

According to reports, the WHO is soon to revise its sugar intake guidelines downwards.

This follows on from a growing body of research linking high sugar intakes to obesity and to the onset of serious metabolic diseases such as type II diabetes.

While there are many conflicting views in this area, and many gaps in our scientific knowledge concerning the health effects of sugar, there is also a lot of evidence which points to a problem with high sugar intakes, especially in liquid form.
