Kerry flags ‘impressive’ health and environmental benefits of sugar reduction: ‘Sugar exacts a large environmental toll’ Taste and nutrition company Kerry has completed a life cycle assessment comparing the environmental impact of its Tastesense Sweet ingredient against the footprint of sugar.

Most of us know that too much sugar is bad for our health. Numerous dietary surveys and mounting calls to reduce sugar intake – alongside regulatory action such as sugar taxes – have ensured that the link between cutting sugar and personal health is firmly established. The World Health Organization, for instance, suggests that free sugar consumption should be less than 10% of dairy energy intake and notes that further reducing free sugars to below 5% of energy intake would deliver additional health benefits.
