6 tsp a day??? Seems like a lot to me
I am a type 2 diabetic (and winning).
I am already at less than that per day - most days anyway.
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.
I think the average Coke or Pepsi has the equivalent of between 40 and 50 tps sugar.
I don’t even have any sugar in the house. Nor honey, which I find disgustingly sweet. Use stevia in my coffee and pure maple syrup on crepes made from sugar-free mix I buy at Natural Grocer. I also don’t eat wheat, but there are several brands of wheat and sugar free mixes. Taste great.

Me too..that’s just sugar, not carbs or fruit right?
Salt recommendation is 2300mg thats like 1 teaspoon.

Yep.
How about zero?
And no artificial sweeteners either.
