Our aim is to improve worldwide understanding of sugar’s role in health and nutrition.
We provide evidence-based scientific information and analysis on sugar's role in health and nutrition. We do this by monitoring global scientific evidence, identifying where scientific consensus is, and where the gaps in scientific knowledge are. To fulfil this objective, we support a small programme of peer-reviewed, transparent research.
