New US diet guidelines advise more limits on sugar intake
« on: January 08, 2016, 04:36:57 pm »
In the US we're still eating too much sugar, or at least that's what we're being told in the new dietary guidelines.

More about this from CNN.com (January 7, 2016).

Some suggestions for reducing sugar intake from an article in Medical News Today by Honor Whiteman, "Sugar: Should We Eliminate It from Our Diet?" (January 11, 2016):

Quote
~Cut back on the amount of sugar you may regularly add to foods and drinks, such as tea, coffee, cereal and pancakes

~Replace sugar-sweetened beverages with sugar-free or low-calorie drinks

~Compare food labels and select the products with the lowest amounts of added sugars

~When baking cakes, reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by a third

~Try replacing sugar in recipes with extracts or spices, such as cinnamon, ginger, almond or vanilla

~Replace sugar on cereal or oatmeal with fruit.
