Abstract

Free sugar intake in childhood remains a critical nutritional concern in Europe. Evidence supports the need for multilevel approaches, including early-life interventions, updated guidelines, and policy measures targeting the broader food environment. Healthcare professionals play a key role in supporting families through nutrition education and consistent messaging. Coordinated action is essential to reduce sugar intake and prevent chronic diseases across the life course.
