The current recommendation is to limit intake of free sugars to below 10% of energy (calories) but very few children achieve this. We will investigate free sugars intake in the diets of ALSPAC children at 7, 10 & 13 years of age. We will identify two groups of children, those who consume 20% or more of their energy from free sugars and those who consume less that 15% of their energy from free sugars at all three ages. These two groups will be compared for differences in food group and nutrients intakes. We will investigate their background diet and social differences to determine points where intervention could be made to improve children's diets.
