Sugar: Beyond the Headlines
Course categoryElearning
Sugar is talked about everywhere – in the media, in public health campaigns and in countless conversations about diet and wellbeing.
Through four short interactive modules, you'll explore what sugars are, why they are used in foods and drinks, what current evidence says about sugars and health, and how policies such as food labelling, reformulation and sugar taxes aim to influence food choices.
In this course, you'll explore the science of sugars, the role they play in foods, common beliefs about sugars and health, and the policies and practices designed to reduce sugar consumption.
Along the way, you'll discover why nutrition is rarely as simple as the headlines and why understanding sugars means looking at the bigger picture.
