The Nutrient Data Laboratory has developed a Special Interest Table to provide data for the Added Sugars content of common foods, in support of nutrition research and monitoring objectives. There is growing scientific interest in the levels of added sugars in the diet, especially as it relates to research concerning the relationship between sugar intake and health and obesity prevention (Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee 2005).
