The reported intakes of sugar sweetened beverages by 10-11 year old children participating in the CHANGE! healthy eating intervention

Abstract

Free sugars in foods and particularly sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) have increasingly, and somewhat controversially, been the focus of public health concerns. SSB are considered to form part of an ‘unhealthy diet’ which with other dietary and lifestyle factors, contribute to total disease burden in England. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey ‘non-alcoholic beverages’ contributed 27-30% of non-milk extrinsic sugars (NMES) for children aged <10 years old
