Added sugars in our diets are often hidden and pose grave health risks
Harvard University suggests 4 steps to reduce or keep in check the consumption of added sugars in our foods
Be reasonable and take practical steps to reduce sugar consumption, which needs to be done with diligence
Be patient. It is not an easy task to cut off sugar after being exposed to it for years
Banning sugar entirely is unnecessary and not even healthy. Some of the sugars that one consumes come from naturally occurring sources in whole foods. The key is to be consistent
Target the categories of food where reductions will have the most impact. For example, beverages, desserts, snacks, sugar-sweetened coffee, tea, candy, breakfast bars and cereals
