Over 80% of prepared foods in supermarkets contain added sugars. A landmark U.S. study reveals that reducing these sugars by just 20% can significantly extend your lifespan.
About 80% of ready-made supermarket products—from soups and tomato sauces to processed meats and breakfast cereals—include added sugars. Even 'light' options often cut fat but compensate with extra sugar.
Published in August 2021, this major American research shows that a 20% sugar reduction in these foods could prevent 490,000 cardiovascular disease deaths and 750,000 diabetes cases in the U.S. alone.
