Of course it is! But in case you don’t believe us, please invest 14 minutes of your time to watch this informative 60 minutes video. In case you miss it at the end of the video, the new recommendations are no more than 150 calories per day of ADDED sugar for men (that’s 37.5 grams for all you label readers) and no more than 100 calories per day of ADDED sugar for women, just 25 grams!
Added sugars are obvious things like sodas, white sugar, agave, honey, however be warned sugar shows up in a lot of products on your local grocery store shelves. When sugar shows up in plain yogurt or milk on the label in grams of sugar, but sugar isn’t present in the ingredient list, this is not considered added sugar.
What do you think? Does 25 grams seem like a lot or a little for the women’s max daily intake recommendation? Share your thoughts below!
