Eating too much sugar is harmful for our health. Some people think that it is government responsibility to limit people’s sugar consumption, while others think that it is an individual’s responsibility to limit the amount of sugar they eat. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

According to World Health Organisation (WHO), the prevalence of non-communicable diseases caused by excessive amount of
sugar
 intake, namely diabetes and obesity, has been increasing lately. Some people argue that councils have to take action while the others think that
sugar
 consumption is a personal responsibility. In
this
 essay, I shall give my opinion that both parties have their responsibilities. On the one hand, there is always a government organisation similar to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in every country who is responsible for checking food ingredients, deciding whether it is safe for consumers, and giving permission for the distribution.
For example
, food containing more than 200 milligrams saccharin, a kind of synthetic
sweetener
, has to be restricted because it is scientifically proven that consuming more than 200 milligrams saccharin per day in one year can lead to diabetes and obesity.
On the other hand
, people have to aware about their health by improving the knowledge regarding the source and kind of
sweetener
 that they consume and limit the
sugar
 intake.
For example
, alternative
sweetener
,
such
 as stevia and corn
saccharide
 are the best choice for people who like sweet cuisine. The stevia sweetness level is a hundred times higher than the usual
sugar
, but our body absorbs it less. So, we do not have to calculate our daily
sugar
 consumption. To sum up, the government has the power to limit the amount of
sweetener
 in distributed food.
However
, limiting the daily
sugar
 intake and choosing the proper
saccharide
 to be consumed are the individual’s responsibility.
