The recommendations in this guideline can be used by policy-makers and programme managers to assess current intake levels of free sugars in their countries relative to a benchmark. They can also be used to develop measures to decrease intake of free sugars, where necessary, through a range of public health interventions. Examples of such interventions and measures that are already being implemented by countries include food and nutrition labelling, consumer education, regulation of marketing of food and non-alcoholic beverages that are high in free sugars, and fiscal policies targeting foods and beverages that are high in free sugars. This guideline should be used in conjunction with other nutrient guidelines and dietary goals, in particular those related to fats and fatty acids (including saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids), to guide development of effective public health nutrition policies and programmes to promote a healthy diet. Estas directrices deberian utilizarse junto con otras directrices sobre nutrientes y otros objetivos dieteticos, especialmente los relacionados con las grasas y los acidos grasos (en particular los saturados y los trans), para orientar la formulacion de politicas eficaces de salud publica relativas a la nutricion y la elaboracion de programas que fomenten una dieta saludable.Programas de actividad fisica para reducir sobrepeso y obesidad en ninos y adolescentes; revision sistematicaAguilar, M. y cols 2014Introduccion: El tratamiento contra la obesidad ha sido muy discutido y varios autores abogan por un tratamiento integral de la obesidad.
