An umbrella review is a review of reviews of reviews, which really amounts to a whole lotta simple regurgitation, as nothing new is really generated in the way of findings, outside of a potentially new understanding of the relative strength of prior findings.
Anyone can look at a single study on its own, and profit—especially if the suggested course of action is relatively innocuous to try.
That said, nothing positive was found for added sugar intake and the unfortunate level of concern was just six teaspoons a day.
In sum, go lower carb, if you don’t want added sugar health issues.

Six teaspoons a day? That’s barely one glass of sweet tea.

If everyone is starving because of fertilizer shortages, I doubt that anyone will care about this.

I had an uncle who told anyone and everyone that processed sugar was dangerous to your health so he avoided that and all other forms of processed junk food. My uncle was the healthiest man you ever met. He lived a good long life till he died at age 95.
Unfortunately, Alzheimer’s kicked when he was about 65 or 70. So for the last 25 years of his life he was physically fit, but mentally gone.
So there’s that.

"....6 tsp a day?" I am a type 2 diabetic (and winning).
I am already at less than that per day - most days anyway.

How about limiting to NO added sugar?

There are 4 calories/gram, for carbohydrates. 6 tsp weighs about 24g. That means about there are about 96 calories in 6 teaspoons of sugar. That’s about 1/3 can of pop.

This sounds like a study from the institute of substitute sugar.
They are basically saying to have no more than 1/3 a can of pop/day. You get more sugar in an apple than that.
I think the conclusion is screw the study and just concentrate on having the best diet overall.

I think the average Coke or Pepsi has the equivalent of between 40 and 50 tps sugar.

I would say that, keep your body fat at around 20% for males and 25% for females. Use biofeedback to keep things relatively on track. If you’re fat goes up, cut back on carbs. If you are falling below your target, increase your carbs.

Oh, I do, but I’m careful to select which experts will recommend doing what I would anyway.
