Today is Sugar Max Day - Certain Not a Holiday! Sugar maxdag was first created three years ago by your food watchdog. On this day, you've already received your annual maximum sugars. So a day that should fall at the end of the year.. but for children 4-8 years old, their limit has already been exceeded! So half a year early. Not difficult, of course, if the food industry keeps putting so many sugars in popular children's drinks..
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a child is allowed to consume up to 8.75 sugar cubes of free sugars per day. So maybe don't put these products in your children's school bag.

Lots of sugar in drinks: young children already have enough sugar for the whole year

Our calculation of Sugar Maxdag is based on the advice of the World Health Organization (WHO). According to WHO, up to 10% of your daily allowance of calories may be free sugars (these are added sugars plus sugars in fruit juices). Children aged 4 to 8 years are almost double (19.25%)! So their sugar max day falls twice as early as the year. Overall, the younger you are, the bigger the sugar problem.

Together, we call on the demissionary state secretary for Health to finally implement a sugar tax. More than 21,000 people have signed our email action. Not you yet.? Do This Now!

Sugar max? Time for tax! As long as the food industry keeps putting so many sugars in products, Suikermaxdag will continue to fall far too early. Fortunately, there is a very good and effective measure to counter this: the sugar tax. Of course, the industry lobbies with man and power against this. However, we are completely ready with the industry's inadequate promises. Providing their products for our sugar max? Then it's time for a sugar tax.!
