Sugar free apple sauce

Eating too much sugar can make you gain weight and can also cause tooth decay. The type of sugars most adults and children in the UK eat sugar free apple sauce much of are “free sugars”. Any sugars added to food or drinks.

These include sugars in biscuits, chocolate, flavoured yoghurts, breakfast cereals and fizzy drinks. These sugars may be added at home, or by a chef or other food manufacturer. The sugars in these foods occur naturally but still count as free sugars. Sugar found naturally in milk, fruit and vegetables does not count as free sugars. We do not need to cut down on these sugars, but remember that they are included in the “total sugar” figure found on food labels. How much sugar can we eat? There’s no guideline limit for children under the age of 4, but it’s recommended they avoid sugar-sweetened drinks and food with sugar added to it.
