Cutting down on sugar is a health choice most of us could benefit from.

Cutting down on things like chocolate, cake, fizzy drinks and biscuits could be a good first step to cutting down your own intake - which should be no more than 30g per day for adults. But what else can you do to reduce the sweet stuff in your diet?
