ANSES advises not to take more than 100 g per day and no more than one sugary drink. “Excess can lead to overweight, obesity and diseases associated with it, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers”, indicates the French public establishment.

There are different types of sugars that are listed. The main sugars are sucrose (table sugar), glucose (fruit and vegetable sugar), fructose (fruit sugar), lactose (milk sugar), maltose (grain sugar) and dextrose (sugar corn). Others include sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, polydextrose, tagatose, and isomalt.
