What is
MAYbe Less Sugar?
MAYbe Less Sugar is an initiative taking place in Switzerland during the month of May.
It invites people to find out more about added sugars, where and how much we consume, why and how to cut back.
How
does it work?
It’s very simple. By signing up for MAYbe Less Sugar, I can find out how much added sugar I consume, take part in events and get useful tips for eating and drinking with less sugar.
After the success of the 2023 and 2024 campaigns, we look forward to seeing you in May 2025. In the meantime, the website and online calculator remain available to help you track your added sugar consumption. And, of course, to provide you with tips on how to eat and drink with less sugar!
Who can
take part?
The MAYbe Less Sugar initiative is free and open to everyone.
Good news! I can invite my family, friends and colleagues to take part.
Participating together is easier and more motivating.
What if I suffer from eating disorders, diabetes, overweight or obesity?
There’s no risk in taking part. However, this does not replace guidance from healthcare professionals. And if you have diabetes, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor before cutting back on sugar. Contacts are provided in the “What’s next?” section.
Added sugars:
What are they?
Added sugars include table sugar (sucrose), fructose, glucose syrup, honey, high-fructose syrup, and many other isolated sugars used directly or added in the preparation or production of beverages and foods.
Who’s behind
MAYbe Less Sugar?
MAYbe Less Sugar is being launched by a large number of partners
across Switzerland.
