The Claire Byrne Show · The dangers of hidden sugar · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

So even though they haven't added like table sugar, there is sugar in the product.

So a little bit of the no added sugar ones, I'd have a bit of a glance at the sugar in them.

We consider low sugar to be less than five grams of sugar per 100 grams and less than two and a half grams of sugar per 100 mils if it's a drink.

Now, that doesn't mean everything has to be under that.

But if it's high, we would say anything over about 22 grams of sugar per 100 grams in a food would be high in sugar.

But again, we don't need to avoid every little bit of sugar.

It's what your total intake is in the day.

that if you're eating a lot of sweets and a lot of chocolate and you're drinking soft drinks you're going to have a lot of sugar in there um you know but we know that we don't want to be eating a whole lot we might enjoy eating those foods but it's not healthy for us to have a whole lot of them in the day and that we're kind of having our normal meals and maybe one snack in the day we should be well under the levels what are the different types of sugar how does it come in different guises and is there a certain type that is better for you than another type

So not really.

There's lots of different kinds of sugar out there and it's to do with kind of their molecular makeup.

So you might have glucose, you can have sucrose, you can have fructose, you can have all of these different kind of sugars that are in there.

And for the vast majority of them, what I would say is sugar is sugar is sugar.

So whether you're having honey or you're having coconut sugar or you're having ordinary table sugar, it's all sugar.

They all do the same thing in the body.

The big thing is that it's damaging teeth.

One sugar that's a little bit different is lactose, which is the sugar that naturally occurs in milk.

And people drinking milk, we don't see the effect on teeth.

We know, in fact, we see teeth tend to be stronger with that because of the calcium and the phosphorus.

The lactose there isn't really an issue.

But for other sugars, I do make people think, well, should I use honey?
