Not so sweet?

I don't know anyone who doesn't love sugar. Humans have a natural sweet tooth and it can be difficult to control our sugar-eating habits. But how can something so nice be so bad for us?

Obviously, naturally occurring sugar, for example in fruit, is considered healthy sugar. However, refined sugar is not healthy and is added to many processed foods to make them taste better. Surprisingly, this 'hidden' sugar can be found in many savoury foods like bread, tins of vegetables and sauces. Moreover, refined sugar has no nutritional value and therefore offers empty calories. It also has no fibre, unlike the natural sugar in fruit, and therefore is easy to eat a lot of. Consequently, excess calories cause weight gain. Too much sugar also encourages childhood tooth decay and diabetes in later Ufe.

So, how can we reduce sugar, especially hidden sugars in our diets? I think the government is responsible. Ideally, it should regulate the amount of sugar that companies can add to processed foods. Furthermore, sugar's health risks should be taught in school. This approach has worked for smoking, after all.

Personally, I think it is extremely important that young people know about the dangers of sugar so that we can make informed choices. Although it is delicious, we must not put our future health at risk.

8 Plan your article in your notebook. Organise your ideas into paragraphs and link them. Then write your article (180-200 words).
