Abstract
This commentary critiques current sugar intake guidelines, suggesting they oversimplify a complex issue and may lead to unintended outcomes. It advocates for reducing sugar-sweetened beverages, promoting healthy dietary patterns, and recognizing the diverse roles of sugars in foods. The piece calls for a more practical and sustainable approach to public health messaging, aiming for more effective dietary strategies that reflect the complexity of nutritional needs and food sources.
