“…A study of over 11 000 Scottish adults demonstrated a lower nutrient density in both the highest and lowest quintiles of sugar intake as a percentage of total energy (Bolton-Smith & Woodward, 1995). Similarly, dietary data from 2800 Australian adults showed a significant inverse trend across deciles of sugar intake, but the decrease was not consistent across deciles (Baghurst et al, 1992). On the other hand, evidence of micronutrient dilution in diets high in added sugar have been reported for adults by Bowman (1999) and Gibson (1997).…”

Objectives: To investigate the association between added sugar and macronutrient and micronutrient intakes, and to assess whether added sugar intake is related to biochemical indices of nutritional status, Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score, body mass index (BMI) and performance on physical function tests. Design: A cross-sectional, analytical study. Setting and subjects: Convenient sample of 285 institutionalised and community-dwelling black South African men and women aged 60 þ y. Methods: An interviewer-administered 24-h dietary recall and MNA were performed. Serum albumin, vitamin B 12 , ferritin, cholesterol, haemoglobin, red blood cell (RBC) folate and plasma vitamin C were measured. Handgrip strength, BMI, 'sit-tostand' and 'get-up-and-go' tests were measured. Outcome variables were analysed according to tertiles of added sugar, in grams and as a percentage of total energy (% E). Results: In each tertile of sugar intake, mean MNA score fell in the 'at-risk' classification. In women, energy, protein, % E protein, fibre, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and selenium intake were significantly lowest in subjects in the highest % E sugar tertile. In men, no differences were found for micronutrient intake according to tertiles of total added sugar or % E added sugar. Physical function declined with increasing sugar intake, and suboptimal RBC folate and plasma ascorbic acid status was associated with increasing sugar intake (in women). No relationship was found between added sugar intake and the very high prevalence (65%) of obesity in women. Conclusion: A nutrient-diluting effect of added sugars intake was demonstrated in elderly black South African women. Further studies in this population are required in order to develop food-based dietary guidelines, which include messages on added sugar intake.

“…A number of large population surveys of body weight and diet report an inverse relationship between indices of overweight and the proportion of energy as carbohydrate (Lewis et al, 1992;Baghurst et al, 1992;Hulshof et al, 1993;Crawley, 1993;Gibson, 1993;Bolton-Smith & Woodward, 1994). These studies have also shown that the proportion of energy from total sugars relates inversely to overweight (Table 3).…”

“…Gibson (1997a) found that a range of sugar consumption is compatible with adequate micronutrient intake when examining the diets of 2197 adults after grouping by ®fths of NME, added or total sugar intakes. Baghurst et al (1992) divided 2800 Australian adults into tenths according to percentage of dietary energy from added sugars. The range of intakes of added sugars was wide, for example in men it was from`4.7% energy in the lowest tenth to b 19.3% energy in the highest tenth.…”

Objectives: There is incongruity between the sugar consumption guidelines set in different European countries. A number have adopted maximum limits ranging from 10 ± 25% energy, while others have no quantitative recommendations at all. This raises the question whether or not there should be a common European guideline for sugar consumption. Design: This paper examines if such a goal for sugar is merited and reviews the published literature on associations between sugar consumption and dental caries, obesity and micronutrient dilution. Results: Evidence showed that higher intakes of sugar were related to leanness, not obesity, and had no detrimental effects on micronutrient intakes in most people. In the case of dental caries, there was a relationship between frequency of sugar intake and the incidence of decay. However, in populations where¯uoride use was adequate, associations between sugar intake and caries rarely reached statistical signi®cance. Conclusions: The available evidence does not justify a common quantitative recommendation for sugar. It is suggested that dental caries merits a more integrated public health approach where advice on the frequency of foods containing fermentable-carbohydrates is placed in context alongside oral hygiene.
