The Sugar Bureau aims to improve understanding of the role of carbohydrates, including sugar, in a healthy diet.

One means of achieving this is to provide researchers and writers with up-to-date information on recently published research. Recent Research provides a comprehensive information service on the most recently published studies in the peer-reviewed scientific literature.

Those who are unfamiliar with the scientific literature on Carbohydrates and Health may not achieve a balanced view of all of the available evidence from this source alone, as it will not review important studies that may have been published a year or more ago. Summaries of Research provides succinct summaries of the current understanding of some important issues in carbohydrate nutrition. It is against these background summaries that new evidence should be placed in order to gain a complete picture.

Sugar and high-carbohydrate diets for the avoidance of coronary heart disease (CHD)

There is extremely good evidence that moderately low-fat diets (especially low in saturated fats) but high in carbohydrates, reduce the risk of CHD (Department of Health, 1994; Food and Agriculture Organization/ World Health Organization, 1998) by inducing favourable blood lipid profiles (Yu Poth et al., 1999). There is no persuasive evidence that sugar behaves differently from starchy carbohydrates in this regard (Department of Health, 1989; Saris et al., 2000).
