摘要

Added sugar and challenges related to its reduction in grain-based foods are discussed. Aspects considered include: definition and sources of added sugar; added sugar intake in the US population; the relationship between added sugar intake and body mass index; added sugar intake and shortfalls in the nutrient adequacy of the US population (vitamins, minerals and fibre); and cereal products containing added sugar.
