Oct. 29, 2024 – The American Heart Association recommends no more than six teaspoons of sugar per day (for women) or nine (for men). That would translate to about 25-35 grams of sugar per day (100-150 kcal per day). The WHO (World Health Organization) recommends a maximum of 50 grams, but preferably no more than 25 grams per day. t sounds like a lot, but let’s change the math: a 350-gram can of the most famous caffeinated drink on the market contains about 39 grams of sugar, and other healthier foods, such as a granola bar, contain 8 grams of sugar. In the case of a blueberry Greek yogurt, 14 grams. Everything we eat is full of sugar, and the worst thing is that we don’t realize it.
Putting things into perspective will help us control our daily sugar intake, since most of the sugar we put into our bodies is not even intentional, it is hidden in cakes, sweets, juices and other processed foods.
