Added sugars increase excess energy and reduce nutrient density in diet
November 14, 2014
The study details an increase in added sugars consumed by American adults by more than 30% (228 calories per day in 1977 to 300 calories in 2009-2010).
With approximately half of American adults (52%) “watching” their diets, Mintel has explored the reasons behind this behavior and the food ingredients on consumers’ radars. Some 60% report they are dieting to lose weight, while 15% of dieters claim they are doing so, at least in part, because of concerns about salt intake.
