Focus on Added Sugar Delivery and Consumption Patterns
The study highlights that added sugar consumption in the United States mainly comes from sugar-sweetened beverages, which account for 60% of added sugar intake in adults. The research contrasts this with a Tanzanian population, the Hadza, who consume a similar level of sugar but do not experience obesity, diabetes, or cardiovascular issues. This suggests that the delivery method of added sugars in developed countries, like the US, might be the primary concern rather than sugar itself.
