Fizzy drinks, cakes, sweets & biscuits are just a selection of the culprits responsible for the high dietary sugar intake of UK adults & children, & with one 500ml bottle of cola containing the equivalent of 17 cubes of sugar, its easy to understand why these energy dense food & drink sources with little nutritional value, can contribute to health conditions such as weight gain & tooth decay.
At the beginning of my weight loss journey I decided to eliminate all food & drink sources containing additional sugar from my diet, & as a result, shed 2 stone just by cutting fizzy drinks alone.
Although we don't need to cut down on the natural sugars found in fruit & milk, we do need to reduce the amount of added sugar in the form of sweets, cakes, biscuits & fizzy drinks if we want our diets, & bodies, to remain as healthy as possible.
