THE country is on a 5 sugar high - with the 1. S average adult eating 12 of s teaspoons of the sweet 2.C stuff each day, double what we should.
But the dangers are clear - too much is linked to obesity, heart disease and Type-2 offer diabetes.
Anyone aged over 11 should stick to a maximum of 30g (seven teaspoons) of free sugars - any sugar added to food or found in honey, syrup and fruit juice.
Children aged four to 10 should stick to between 19-24g (about five and six teaspoons).
So what should you be looking out for?
Cereal offender
One bowl of cereal can contain as much sugar as five biscuits according to an Action on Sugar study. Kellogg's Frosties are one of the top offenders, with 11g of sugar per 30g portion, with similar levels in Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.
Beware of sugar lurking in muesli, granola and cereal bars too.
Sweet tip: Weetabix has 1.69 sugar per two-biscuit serving, Shredded Wheat even less. Try sweetening cereal with fresh strawberries, blueberries or sliced bananas or opting for plain homemade porridge.
