COUNTING CALORIES: Focusing too much on reducing sugar intake might detract from a need to cut down on fat, experts have said. 

The warning comes after a study found that the calories consumed by overweight or obese people are more likely to come from fat.

Co-lead author Jill Pell, director of the Institute of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow, said: “The critical message is people need to reduce their overall calories. If focusing attention on sugar results in people compensating by eating more crisps then we will fail to combat obesity.”
