Recently much has been said about sugars, especially due to the Sugar Tax, that is, the tax on sugary soft drinks which has already been applied in the United Kingdom and in Denmark and which has pushed many producer companies to reduce the sugar content of their products.
Sugars have ended up in the dock after the WHO established that the maximum limit that an adult can consume without running into health problems is 25 gr while many people, in fact, consume much more (around 82 gr).
This excess provokes various pathologies directly connected with obesity, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, the latter defined as “the disease of the century”.
In the video in our InForma section, we give some more information on how to understand how many sugars we consume during the day and we also warn against a number of advertising claims that could be misleading.
