Weight gain increases with added sugars intake, data suggests<\/h1>\n

\n
Trends in weight gain have paralleled trends in intake of added sugars, according to a review of 27 years of Minnesota Heart Survey data presented at an American Heart Association (AHA) event.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
The researchers, from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, found that consumption of added sugars increased for men and women in all age groups from 1982 to 2009, according to the survey data, and trends were parallel to increases in body mass index (BMI).<\/span><\/div>\n
According to this report: \u201cAlthough other lifestyle factors should be considered as an explanation for the upward trend of BMI, public health efforts should advise limiting added sugar intake.”<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
Sugar-sweetened beverages are the largest contributor of added sugars in the US diet. Current guidelines from the American Heart Association specify that calories coming from added sugars should be limited to about 100 per day for women and 150 per day for men in order to reduce heart disease risk \u2013 about five percent of total daily calorie intake.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
