The recent Institute of Medicine recommendation to the Food and Drug Administration to include added sugar in a new front-of-package system provides new justification for reviewing outdated regulations pertinent to sugar and analyzing whether the government's previous resistance to sugar labeling remains valid given new and robust science. I have provided an overview of US sugar consumption, its public health implications, and the science related to added sugar detection. I reviewed US and international sugar intake recommendations and suggested revised regulations to better inform and protect consumers. I concluded by noting new directions in the area of sugar research for future public health policy.
最近，医学研究所向食品和药物管理局建议在新的包装正面系统中加入添加糖，这为审查与糖有关的过时法规提供了新的理由，并分析了鉴于新的、强有力的科学证据，政府之前对糖标签的抵制是否仍然有效。我提供了美国糖消费、其公共卫生影响以及与添加糖检测相关的科学的概述。我审查了美国和国际的糖摄入量建议，并提出了修订后的法规，以更好地为消费者提供信息和保护。最后，我注意到糖研究领域的新方向，为未来的公共卫生政策提供参考。
