Objective: To update evidence on the association between reducing the amount of sugars intake to <10% and <5% energy (E) on caries to inform updating of WHO guidelines on sugar consumption. The questions formulated by the WHO guideline development group were as follows: What is the effect on dental caries of a reduction in free sugars intake in adults/children?; What is the effect on dental caries of an increase in free sugars intake in adults/children?; and What is the effect on dental caries of restricting sugars intake to below 10% E to reduce risk of dental caries in adults/children?
