Launch of Hyakunen Honey Salt Lemon: May 13, 2026

When sweating, replenishing carbohydrates is just as important as hydration. Carbohydrates play a role in restoring energy lost during exercise and perspiration. While commonly replenished through sports drinks, there is a growing global movement to rethink the 'role of sugar,' specifically regarding high-fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners used in these products.

'Daijoubu na Mono' has launched 'Hyakunen Honey Salt Lemon' on May 13, 2026, designed using only three ingredients: centenary honey, Miyakojima salt, and lemon juice.

### Global Perspectives on Sugar

#### WHO (World Health Organization) In 2015, the WHO recommended limiting free sugar intake to less than 10% of total energy (ideally less than 5%). In 2023, it issued warnings regarding the long-term use of non-sugar sweeteners (NSS).

#### EU: Nutri-Score A nutrition labeling system that evaluates nutritional balance using colors and letters. It assesses sugar, salt, and fat content. The 2024 revision reviewed the evaluation criteria for beverages containing artificial sweeteners.

#### United States: Reevaluating High-Fructose Corn Syrup Debates on the health impacts of processed and liquid sugars are intensifying, led by figures like Robert Kennedy Jr.
