The United State of America Government has announced their readiness to go for zero sugar intake in all their consumptions as Sugar is declare poisonous.
The US government told its citizens that sugar is another form of poison that must be avoided henceforth.
Health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr said this on Tuesday, calling sugar “poison”, recommending that Americans eat “zero” added sugar in their food.
He, however, acknowledged that the government may not be able to eliminate sugar from products.
Kennedy said it was better that product are well labelled for people to know what they consume.
He also said that new federal government guidelines on nutrition would recommend people avoid sugar completely.
Kennedy said at a press conference on Tuesday, “Sugar is poison and Americans need to know that it is poisoning us.
“I don’t think that we’re going to be able to eliminate sugar, but I think what we need to do, probably, is give Americans knowledge about how much sugar is in their products, and also, with the new nutrition guidelines, we’ll give them a very clear idea about how much sugar they should be using, which is zero.
“Americans don’t know what they’re eating. We’re going to start informing Americans about what they’re eating,” he said.
He further talked about various artificial and petroleum-based dyes in food products, which according to him, would be eliminated within two years.
The Biden administration previously moved to ban Red No 3 food dye, citing cancer risks in animal studies.
