According to the WHO stuff I've read, added sugars is simply a convenience. There is no dietary need outside of calories for carbs, the western diet tends incorporate too many calories and focusing on added sugar is a simple target to these excess calories without becoming knowledgable about all the ins and out of nutrition.
This is barely coherent. Not that it matters, but please let me edit for readability now that I'm on a computer.
According to the WHO stuff I've read, the recommendation to eliminate added sugars is simply a convenience. Since there is no dietary need outside of calories for carbs and the western diet tends incorporate too many calories, focusing on eliminating added sugar from a person's diet is a simple way to target these excess calories without having to educate an entire population about all the ins and out of nutrition.0 -
