Food experts condemn UK supermarkets over failure to tackle sugar levels

Retailers continue to encourage sugar consumption while paying lip service to healthy eating, report says

UK supermarkets have been accused of encouraging people to consume more sugar, despite the huge concern about its significant role in causing obesity, rotten teeth and type 2 diabetes.

Food campaigners claim supermarkets are doing little to reduce the amount of sugar they sell across their product ranges and are misleading people about how much they are doing to tackle obesity.
