Sugar century: Impact of high-calorie foods on public health Collection

BMC Nutrition is calling for submissions to our Collection on sugar's impact on nutrition and public health. The "Sugar Century" refers to the profound effect that sugar and high-calorie foods have had on human diets and public health over the past century. As sugar consumption surges, so too have the rates of obesity and related chronic diseases, prompting a critical examination of the role of sugar in our diets. This Collection aims to explore the multifaceted relationship between sugar intake, caloric consumption, and health outcomes, providing a platform for researchers to share insights into the historical, cultural, and biological factors that have shaped our current understanding of sugar's impact on nutrition and health.
