The published paper contained some errors: please see below for details and the correct information.

  1. 1) In the results section on p6, ‘Adults (19–64 yrs)’, the first sentence of the second paragraph currently reads: “Total sugars intake (%TE) ranged from 12.7% in 35–49 year old men and women in Lithuania to 26% in 19–30 year old women in The Netherlands.”

    The correct text is: “Total sugars intake (%TE) ranged from 12.7% in 35–49 year old men and women in Lithuania to 24% in 15–80 year old women in Germany.”

  2. 2) In Table 6:

    Data relating to The Netherlands was incorrectly reported as “Total sugars (%E) for men (19–30y) as 25.8 and for women 26.0”

    The correct values are 21.0 for men and 22.1 for women.

  3. 3) Tables 3–7: For France and Mexico, where n numbers are stated only for males or females, the number stated is the combined n number for males and females.

    Table 7: For Greece, the n numbers stated are for all age groups combined (35–44, 45–54, 55–64 y).

  4. 4) Several rows of data on Table 6 relating to sugar intakes in New Zealand and Spain are misaligned in the print version and are correct in the second table outlined here:
