The more sugar we eat, the fewer vitamins we get

New European research has found that the more added sugar we eat, the fewer vitamins and minerals we appear to consume in our daily diets.
Carried out by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, the new study looked at data gathered from two different study groups; one which surveyed 1,797 participants aged 18 to 80 years and assessed their dietary intake using a four-day food diary, and another which included 12,238 participants aged 45 to 68 years and assessed their diet using a combination of a seven-day food diary, a food frequency questionnaire and an interview.
From this data, the researchers were able to look at the participants' intake of added sugar, which is sugar added to food and drinks during processing, not the sugar that exists naturally in fruit, vegetables or milk, and the average daily intake of nine micronutrients: calcium, folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc.
The findings, published in the journal Nutrition & Metabolism, showed that in both sets of participants, the higher the intake of added sugar, the lower the intake of all nine vitamins and minerals.

Association between added sugar intake and micronutrient dilution: a cross-sectional study in two adult Swedish populations
https://nutritionandmetabolism.biom...2986-020-0428-6
The evidence on the impact of high sugar consumption on micronutrient dilution does not yet allow for the establishment of clear thresholds of consumption. To establish upper and lower limit intake thresholds for added sugar, more studies from different countries and multiple populations are needed. The aim of this study was to examine the association between the intakes of added sugar and various micronutrients among the adult Swedish population across almost two decades.
