Abstract(s)
Introduction
Scientific studies have related
excessive sugar intake to chronic
diseases, such as diabetes and
obesity, leading several European
countries, namely Nordic, United
Kingdom and Ireland, to the
development of initiatives towards
public health. Portugal has defined an
integrated strategy that encourages
healthy eating (EIPAS) and aims for a
major reduction of sugar intake. To
accomplish this, monitoring sugar
content in food is required.
Objectives
Evaluate and compare sugar
content in breakfast cereals and in
solid and liquid yogurts, in Portugal
and Ireland, focusing those near
and below the goal established by
EIPAS, for 2021.
