KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry will grant the “Healthy Choice” recognition to companies that reduce the sugar content in their products as part of the ministry's “war on sugar” campaign.

Its Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, said it is crucial to reduce sugar intake among Malaysians because it is one of the main causes of weight gain, which leads to various non-communicable diseases (NCD) such as obesity and diabetes.
