High sugar consumption is a major problem among Thai food consumption habits. Thai citizen consumes 30.0 kilograms of sugar per year on an average which equals three times the maximum recommended intake of 25.0 grams per day. Thai people add a considerable amount of sugar to many popular recipes and the popular example of it is extra amounts of tomato sauce on the Pizza. With the intake of high amount of sugar, westernized food and lack of exercise, there has been increase in the population suffering from diabetes. With the tropical onset of diabetes type 2 in Thailand after the age of 50; the aging of Thai population points towards rise of the disease burden.
