Description
Pauline Emmett and Caroline Taylor compare, in a 2024 study, the diets of children who habitually eat much or little free sugar. Free sugars are those added to food or found in juices and syrups, and high intake may crowd out better nutrition. The data come from a long-running British cohort, with three-day food records kept at ages seven, ten, and thirteen.
At each age, most children passed the lower sugar mark the team set, and a third passed the high one. Children in the high group took in more energy over all, but less protein, fat, starch, and fiber. Several vitamins and minerals also ran lower. The study tracks early-life traits that predict landing in the high group, to judge when an effort to cut sugar would bite best.
