 Citerank: (2) 351718Consuming too much sugarMany people are eating more sugar than they should. Current intakes of sugar for all population  groups exceed recommendations set by the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food  Policy (COMA) for the UK in 1991 (which recommended that, on a population basis, no more than 10% of the average total energy intake should be consumed as sugar). Energy dense diets, such as those that are high in sugar, can lead to an excess calorie intake (which, if sustained, leads to weight gain and obesity).555CD992, 399934Consuming too much sugarMany people are eating more sugar than they should.
