intakes among Flemish preschoolers. Also, a decrease in
the consumption of sugared drinks and fruit juices
would significantly decrease simple carbohydrate intakes.
Replacement of flavoured milk drinks by natural milk
should for instance be encouraged. The current consumptions
of sweet spreads (like jam and chocolate
spread) are only a case of concern with regard to the
intake of simple sugars, though their contribution to
simple sugars is still lower than that from flavoured
milk drinks, fruit juices, soft drinks, and sweet snacks.
Furthermore, it could be concluded from tables 2 and 3
that a lower consumption of fat-rich cold cuts could
help to decrease SFA intakes, given its high contribution
and its high consumption in comparison with other products
from the ‘meat group’. At last, a lower consumption
of hard cheese or replacement by low-fat types or
cottage cheese could also reduce SFA intakes.
