Red Light Over Sugar in Many Yogurts

Their study, published today in BMJ Open, found that across all categories of yogurt products – with the exception of natural, Greek and ‘Greek-style’ yogurts – the average sugar levels were well above the five grams of sugar per 100 grams threshold required to be classed ‘low sugar’ and carry a green ‘traffic light’ nutritional label in the UK. Apart from products in the dessert category, organic yogurts were found to have the highest average sugar content – roughly 13.1 grams per 100 grams. A standard sugar cube weighs roughly four grams – equivalent to a level teaspoon of granulated sugar. https://www.technologynetworks.com/applied-sciences/news/red-light-over-sugar-in-many-yogurts-309676?utm_campaign=Newsletter_TN_BreakingScienceNews&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=66034258&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8V6pMnWQWYeciSOJH3YSRw4MTaOxjw4qUC_daiDxClCspEw8OJ48v7SJYrjnj4CXMd-EB6N2HsvouZtSQPG-eV7CCEXA&_hsmi=66034258
