Children between the ages of 4 to 8 already consumed yearly sugar allowance

Eating too much sugar is a common phenomenon among many people, but especially between children the ages of four to eight, recent figures from the RIVM showed. This group is said to already have consumed the recommended maximum yearly amount of sugar, also known as the “sugar max day.” The sugar max day was created by the research center Foodwatch. “On the one hand, there are many sugary drinks such as sodas and dairy drinks but also many multi-vitamin drinks contain a lot of sugar”, a Foodwatch spokesperson told the NL Times. The data also showed that around 90 percent of children between the ages of 7 to 18 and 60 percent of adults exceed their recommended sugar intake.
