UK Dental experts have expressed concern at the sweet tooth British.
Last year, consumers in the UK spent the equivalent of £23 each on sweet items - a total of more than £1.37 billion.
The report found the UK had 23% of the European sweet market - which includes boiled sweets, toffee, fruit gums,
chews and mints which was worth £5.9 billion last year.
Research shows that Britons spend more on confectionery items than anywhere else in Europe.
