Did you know that your average recommended amount of sugar per day is 90g?
When I first heard it, I couldn't believe it was so high but.. it's true!

Here in the UK, it is 90..Larkin wrote:
"Official US Guidelines advise a maximum of 40g refined sugar for every 2000 calories consumed. This equates to 8 percent of calories.
Note: Refined sugar is not only table sugar - it includes the sugars in a wide range of processed foods (e.g. breakfast cereal). So remember to read food labels and choose lower-sugar brands."

Those aren't daily requirements, they're daily maximums.sfarrar33 wrote:
Both 40 and 90 are bollocks because its just an average, your daily requirement may be higher or lower depending on what you do on your average day or what particular medical conditions you might have (diabetes for starters).
It's 40g of REFINED sugar for every 2000 calories you consume.sfarrar33 wrote:
