Abstract
Sugar consumption has recently become a central issue in the debate over global approaches to address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Controversies regarding the role of sugar in the aetiology of NCDs such as diabetes and obesity, and their risk factors, are nothing new.
