Is there any reason why free sugar consumption should be limited to low amounts?
The terminology free sugars is possibly related to mono and dissacharides. It is not clear to me if it means precisely just refined sugars or both, refined and not refined.
There is a WHO study recommending eat free sugars in low amounts. Here is a related post with an in some-respects illuminating answer.
For example, glucose is an energy source for the metabolism. Limiting that sounds counterintuitive. It has been suggested that it is cariogenic, but it doesn't seem enough of a reason for limitation, as we could ingest it without much contact to the teeth, so that is would be dissolved only in the stomach.
So, what are the unhealthy facts related to free sugars that imply reducing the intake?
