Over 60% of Dutch adults exceed the World Health Organization's recommended sugar limits. Excessive sugar consumption heightens the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
That's why the Diabetes Fund's National Sugar Challenge empowers participants to adopt healthier choices this year.
The challenge focuses on avoiding free sugars for seven days—added sugars, plus those in honey, syrups, fruit juices, and concentrates.
