What we cover
How to find added sugar on food labels, practical swaps, the main sweeteners and what regulators say about them, sugar in drinks, low-sugar breakfasts, and an honest summary of what is and isn't known about sugar and skin.
Our approach
- Gradual over strict. Small changes that you keep beat big changes that you drop.
- Whole fruit is fine. Our focus is free and added sugars, as in public health guidance.
- No promises. We don't promise weight loss, clearer skin or any other result.
How the guides are put together
The guides are based on published guidance from public bodies, such as the World Health Organization's guidelines on sugars and on non-sugar sweeteners, US Nutrition Facts labelling rules, UK front-of-pack labelling guidance and the positions of food safety regulators. Where rules or advice have changed, we give the year. Where the evidence is uncertain, we say so.
What we are not
We are not doctors, dietitians or dermatologists, and nothing here is medical advice. If you have diabetes, kidney disease, an eating disorder or any other health condition, or you are pregnant, follow your own clinician's advice. We don't sell products and there are no partner links on this site.

Labelling rules and official advice change. If something here is out of date, write to office@sugarfreeglow.com with the page and your source, and we'll check and correct it.
