You've looked at the sugar content on a food label. You've seen the traffic light. You've thought - amber, that's probably fine. It's not fine. And it's not your fault for thinking it was.
The percentage you see on the front of your food packaging is based on a daily sugar reference value of 90 grams. The independent scientific body that reviews all the evidence - SACN - recommends 25 grams of free sugar per day. That's not a rounding difference. That's nearly four times higher than what the science actually says. In this episode Paul breaks down exactly why that gap exists, who benefits from it, and what it means for what you're actually eating every single day without realising. You'll learn the difference between free sugars and naturally occurring sugars - and why that distinction changes everything about how you should read a label. You'll find out where free sugar is actually hiding... and it's probably not where you think. You'll understand what the research really says about what sugar is doing to your health, your mood, your weight, and your long-term risk of serious disease. This isn't an episode about cutting out sugar. It's an episode about understanding what you're actually eating... and why the information you've been given to make that decision has never been straight with you. 🎙 No Forking Nonsense - the UK's second most listened-to nutrition podcast.
