A typical British family was asked to record their food and drink intake for a week to see how much sugar they eat every day. The results show a much higher intake than what's recommended - between two to four times as much. Most of the sugar they consume is hidden in "normal" foods.
The British Dietetic Association's dietician Aisling Pigott comments on the results:
Mirror: How Much Sugar are You Feeding your Family Without Even Knowing It?"I think the Botterills' diet is fairly typical and actually, the amount of sugar in what they eat is quite similar to the UK average consumption"
