Les sucres dans l'alimentation : de quoi parle-t-on ?

Sugars consumption and its secular trend are quite difficult to assess precisely from production, purchases or alimentation surveys. As a whole sugars consumption appears relatively stable for a decade or so, amounting some 27-29 kg/person/year, with a shift from “sweet products” towards fruits, fruit juices and dairy products. In adults, sugars contribute to 17-20% of energy intake, 20-25% in children and adolescents.
