During Eid al-Fitr, Indonesian people usually visit their family and relatives. During these visits, hosts often serve food and sweet drinks to their guests.

This phenomenon is captured in a survey report by the Kurious-Katadata Insight Center (KIC) titled "Survey of Sweet Snack Consumption Habits during Ramadan."

The survey shows that the majority, or 89.2% of respondents, received sweet food and drinks during their Eid visits. The breakdown shows 62.5% often received them and 26.8% very often.

Meanwhile, only 10.8% of respondents rarely received such treats; 10.3% rarely and 0.5% very rarely.

"Almost 90% of respondents agree that sweet food and drinks are a common part of celebrating Eid al-Fitr," stated the Kurious-KIC team in their report.

This survey was conducted on 613 respondents spread across various regions of Indonesia, with 56% male and 44% female respondents.

More than half of the respondents were from Java (excluding Jakarta) at 62.4%, followed by Jakarta (14.4%), and Sumatra (10.6%). The proportion of respondents from Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali-Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku-Papua ranged from 0.8% to 4.6%.

Most respondents were aged between 35-44 years (33%), followed by the 25-34 year-old group (30.3%) and the 45-54 year-old group (23.2%).

The survey was conducted from April 18-27, 2023, using the computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) method, with a margin of error of approximately 3.95% and a 95% confidence level.

According to nutritionist Dr. I Wayan Gede Sutadarma, excessive consumption of sweet food and drinks can lead to obesity, tooth decay (caries), and increase the risk of diabetes mellitus.

Therefore, the public is urged to be aware of the sugar content in their daily food and drinks to maintain a balanced nutrient intake.

"Efforts are needed to regulate daily sugar consumption. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that daily sugar consumption in the form of sweet food and drinks should be less than 10% of total daily energy intake," said I Wayan in his article published on the official website of the Ministry of Health (August 9, 2022).

Referring to WHO guidelines, if the average total daily energy intake is 2,000 calories, then the maximum sugar intake limit is 50 grams or equivalent to 4 tablespoons per person per day.

I Wayan also emphasized that sugar is not to be avoided, but its consumption must still be limited. "If we don't consume sugar, then the body (especially the central nervous system) will lack energy, making it difficult to concentrate and causing easy fatigue," he said.
