Sugar and Sweetening - Attitudes and Alternatives
Leatherhead Food International, Nov 2004
With growing awareness of the link between diet and health and the increasing publicity being given to the problem of obesity, consumer concern over sugar levels in the diet is another issue that needs to be explored in more depth. Levels of concern need to be gauged, along with reasons for concern and any actions being taken, whether it be by cutting down on sugar, eating more low/reduced-sugar foods, or turning to artificial sweeteners and sugar substitutes.
This programme of research looks at UK consumer attitudes to sugar and sweeteners, exploring consumers' understanding of the sugar levels in different foods and drinks, purchase and consumption of reduced-sugar food and drinks, and usage, awareness of and attitudes to artificial sweeteners. This is combined with a review of the retail table-top sweetener market, and end-use market and product trends for key reduced-sugar foods and drinks.
