21 Nov 2019 --- The share of children and adolescents consuming sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and the calories they consume from them has declined dramatically between 2003 and 2014. This is according to a new study from the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, published by Elsevier. The study coincides with the Oslo’s health directorate, announcing that sugar consumption in Norway has fallen by more than 1 kg a year since 2000. The report notes that Norwegians are consuming less sugar than at any time in the last 44 years.
