In the just concluded annual physical examination, 8-year-old boy Ding Ding (pseudonym) measured a BMI of 25.9kg/m2, which exceeded the normal standard. He was also found to have three decayed teeth, one of which requires root canal treatment. On weekdays, Ding Ding has a passion for sweets. Although Ding Ding's mother intentionally controlled and even agreed on "Candy Day," the children often relied on their grandparents' favor to eat many cakes and chocolates in one go. With the improvement of living standards, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Chinese residents, especially among children and adolescents, has grown rapidly, becoming a serious public health problem that poses a threat to residents' health. Obesity of children and adolescents is closely related to high sugar diet. Excessive intake of sugar is one of the important reasons for obesity, diabetes and other diseases. Helping children control and reduce sugar is an important part of a healthy diet. At the recent seminar on healthy food and urban development, Xiong Jingfan, director of the Children and Adolescents Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Department of Shenzhen Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Center, shared the health warnings brought by the sales of sugary beverages in Shenzhen. A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Network conducted an exclusive interview with her in the "Warm One Square" live broadcast room. The phenomenon of "sugar overflow" has become one of the main culprits affecting the health of children and adolescents. According to the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)", it is recommended that children and adults aged 7 and above consume less than 25 grams of added sugar per person per day, with a maximum of 50 grams. Among them, added sugars (also known as "free sugars") refer to sugars artificially added to food, including monosaccharides and disaccharides, excluding sugars in natural fruits and natural carbohydrates in staple foods. Common added sugars include sucrose, fructose, glucose, etc. A small piece of dessert may have exceeded health standards for sugar content. "Sugar is a pure energy food (almost contains no other nutrients - reporter's note), and excessive intake of added sugar will easily lead to obesity." Xiong Jingfan said that the harm of childhood obesity should not be underestimated. It is a chronic metabolic disease, but also a high-risk factor for chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, abnormal lipid metabolism, hyperuricemia and so on. The World Health Organization reports that approximately one-third of obese children and two-thirds of obese adolescents will eventually develop into obese adults. "Compared with people with normal weight, obese children and adolescents have a higher risk of chronic diseases, because most of their organs are not fully developed, and their condition is more serious than that of adults." Obesity is a high-risk factor for children to develop type II diabetes. Xiong Jingfan pointed out that research shows that obese children have 2.7 times the risk of developing type II diabetes as adults compared with children with normal weight, and those who remain obese from childhood to adulthood have 4.3 times the risk of developing type II diabetes as those with normal weight. In addition to obesity, excessive sugar intake can also cause many health problems for children and adolescents. For example, high sugar can cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies, leading to osteoporosis and increasing the risk of fractures in adolescents; Sugar substances in sweet foods can adhere to teeth, which can easily form dental plaque if not removed in a timely manner, leading to dental caries; The metabolism of sugar in the body requires the consumption of multiple vitamins and minerals, which can easily lead to vitamin deficiency, calcium deficiency, potassium deficiency in children... "Excessive sugar can damage the whole body". High school boy Liu Chang (pseudonym) likes to play basketball after
