Reducing sugar from packaged foods could save millions of lives: US study

Reducing sugar by 20% from packaged foods and 40% from beverages could save the lives of over&nbsp;4,90,000 Americans, says study.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sweet & dangerous: reducing sugar in packaged foods could save millions of lives

From fruit and veg to grains, everything we eat has&nbsp;some natural sugar
Natural sugar ensures a consistent supply of energy to the body
But added sugars from packaged food can cause major harm
Cut 20% sugar from packaged foods &amp; 40% from drinks, suggests study
This could help prevent 2.48 cases of cardiovascular disease in the US
7,50,000 cases of diabetes in the US could also be averted
Overall, 4.90k American adult lives could be saved upon implementation
Report urges people to choose&nbsp;unsweetened versions of products
Demands for a reduction in portion size of single-serve packaged items

Reducing sugar by 20% from packaged foods and 40% from beverages could save the lives of over&nbsp;4,90,000 Americans, says study.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The reputation of sugar is bittersweet in the health world.&nbsp;From fruits, vegetables to grains and dairy, nearly everything&nbsp;we eat has some amount of&nbsp;natural&nbsp;sugar in it.&nbsp;Natural sugar takes a long time to digest and provides your body with a consistent supply of energy.
But things are not that positive when it comes to the added sugars in packaged foods. In fact, a recent study published&nbsp;in the journal&nbsp;Circulation claims that just a 20 per cent reduction of sugar from packaged foods and 40 per cent reduction from beverages, 2.48 million cases of cardiovascular disease in the U.S. could be avoided.

The proposal also says that the&nbsp;reduction&nbsp;could help prevent nearly 7,50,000 cases of diabetes in the U.S.
Overall,&nbsp;implementation of the measures could save at least 4,90,000&nbsp;lives from&nbsp;the current American adult population (aged 35 to 79).
The claims are based on a model designed by researchers from&nbsp;Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Tufts University, and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The report urges people to choose unsweetened versions of products and call upon food companies to reduce portion sizes for products that are designed to serve a single person. The researchers believe that cutting sugar in packaged foods could play a major role in improving&nbsp;overall&nbsp;public health.

There&rsquo;s nothing wrong with enjoying some dessert once in a while or nibbling on something sweet when your heart gets a craving. But sugar is a notorious food group that is often hidden in plain sight in so many of the things we eat, often on a regular basis.&nbsp;
Added sugars can creep into your diet and cause&nbsp;harm without letting you even realise what is happening.&nbsp;It is okay to have sugar as long as you&rsquo;re able to keep a watchful eye on your intake.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Here are some foods that we eat regularly that often feature hidden sugars in bulk!&nbsp;&nbsp;
PASTA SAUCES&nbsp;
While they don&rsquo;t taste sweet, packaged pasta sauces are high in sugar content. You&rsquo;ll find as much as 6 to 12 grams of sugar in just half a cup of pasta sauce, which is similar to the sugars in one chocolate cookie.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PROTEIN BARS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Granola or protein bars are touted to be a healthy snack but be careful before eating them on a daily basis. Many of these bars are made with&nbsp;sweeteners like corn syrup, brown sugar, honey, dextrose and fructose.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FLAVOURED YOGHURT&nbsp;
Yoghurt is a great source of calcium and protein but the story of flavoured yoghurts isn&rsquo;t exactly the same. Apart from the naturally&nbsp;occurring sugars, these yoghurts are pumped with sweeteners. One serving of flavoured yoghurt can have as much as 17 to 33 grams of sugar.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SALAD DRESSING&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re eating salads in hopes of living healthier, you must keep this in mind. Salad dressing, especially the sweeter&nbsp;kinds, can pack a lot of sugar. With 5 to 7 grams of sugar in just two spoons of dressing, you&rsquo;ll be much safer making&nbsp;your own vinegar and oil dressings at home.&nbsp;&nbsp;
TEA AND COFFEE&nbsp;&nbsp;
When you make your own tea or coffee, you have complete control over the sugar. But many leading brands of iced&nbsp;or&nbsp;pre-brewed tea and&nbsp;flavoured&nbsp;coffees can be loaded with&nbsp;high amounts of&nbsp;this sweet but deadly component.&nbsp;Sometimes even more than a can of fruit juice!&nbsp;&nbsp;
Eating or not eating sugar is your personal dietary choice but it is better to avoid foods that suspiciously&nbsp;sneak added sugars into your diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Surprising sources of hidden added sugars in your diet 

Sugar is the common food group hidden in everyday foods
Added sugars can cause hard without our realisation&nbsp;
Almost 6-12 gms&nbsp;sugar in half cup of packaged pasta sauces
Protein bars often made with sweeteners like corn syrup, fructose
Flavoured yoghurts&nbsp;pumped with 17-33 gms&nbsp;sugar per serving
Store-bought salad dressing can have 5-7 gms&nbsp;sugar in 2 tsp
Iced teas &amp; flavoured coffee can have more sugar than fruit juice!&nbsp;
