Recent research published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation looked at a model that may predict changes in cardiometabolic illness (particularly type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity) as well as healthcare expenditures if sugar reduction objectives were implemented. The National Salt and Sugar Reduction Initiative (NSSRI) in the United States suggested voluntary sugar reduction objectives in 2018. Except for sugar-sweetened drinks, which were aimed for a 40% reduction, each of the 15 food groups had a 20 per cent decrease in average sugar content by the end of 2026. Diet data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2011 to 2016, sugar-related illnesses from a variety of different research studies, and health-related expenditures were all factored into the model.
The Cotswolds is a rural region in south-central England that encompasses portions of six counties, most notably Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. Its undulating hills and grasslands are dotted with thatched medieval towns, churches, and magnificent mansions constructed entirely of the region's characteristic yellow limestone. From Bath in the south to Chipping Campden in the north, the 102-mile Cotswold Way walking route follows the Cotswold Edge escarpment.
