Abstract

[The sugars most responsible for dental caries are free sugars. They are mono- and disaccharides added to foods and beverages by the manufacturer, cook or consumer and sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates. For both general and oral health, the WHO recommends that the free sugar contribution to an individual’s total energy intake should be no more than 10% and suggests a further reduction to below 5% to protect oral health throughout the life course. Dietary advice should focus on reducing the amount of free sugars consumed; encourage the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds and wholegrain starch-rich foods; and discourage the consumption of all drinks containing free sugars.]
