It’s hard to imagine a life without sugar. But how much sugar is too much? The American Heart Association recommends that women eat no more than six teaspoons of sugar a day; for men, no more than nine. This means no more than 25-36 grams or about 100-150 calories a day of sugar. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends eating a maximum of 50 grams, but preferably no more than 25 grams of sugar per day.
Does that sound like a lot or a little? Well, when you consider that a 12 oz can of regular Coke has 39 grams of sugar, and even “healthy” foods like a granola bar (8 grams of sugar) and a container of blueberry greek yogurt (14 grams of sugar), are packed with hidden sugar, it certainly puts things in perspective. Most of us consume at least twice as much sugar as the recommendations allow.

I didn’t read article, but was #1 reason being obese?
Six Pack + a solo....?
Don't you have any work you should be doing?

When an article headlined 5 Signs You’re Eating Too Much Sugar doesn't begin with five bullet points, you know it's a scam.

Yes, I have noticed a disturbing deterioration in the quality of your posts here recently.

They never seem to get to stuff like that, IMO. It’s always preaching or preparation or something.... If they’re really there you’ve been barraged with so much other BS and pop up or embedded ads that you just give up and stop reading.
Its a cooping mechanism...ask me how I know...
Bkmk
Yeah.
Blah blah blah.
The gapped tooth space is for the 72oz diet Coke straw.
The secret is, when you go to a grocery store, avoid the center ailes, except for the one with canned veggies and beans and EVOO. Otherwise stick to meat, poultry and produce sections.
If you can obtain the latter three from local farms, or your back yard, even better.
And drink your water at room temperature. I'm Sirius.
Technically, drinking beer isn’t ‘eating’
Alcohol is a solution!
For years I have had probably six teaspoons every morning (with about 3 tsp. of dutch processed cocoa) and before going to sleep, and many teaspoons more during the day. Age 72, 5'4'' 128lbs and usually active.
Trying to cut down.
Sugar feeds cancer and if you have it, eliminating it is even advised by doctors. Sugar is also in the top 5 foods causing inflammation in the body.
[[It’s hard to imagine a life without sugar]]
Which is why I don’t even try to imagine it. Life is short, eat what you enjoy within reason.
The body actually needs sugar to combat cancer cells. It fuels the body (and not the cancer contrary to popular beleif) to combat the deadly disease.
I think it all depends on one’s metabolism-
Lol- I sued to start the day off with a jolt soda, and drink it throughout the day- at .east a 6 pack, sometimes more depending on what I had to do for work. Coffee I would pour about 6 tablespoons into a cup- but later I learned to like it black.
I do 2 sodas a day now one in morning, one at night. Caffeine in morning, not at night. My problem now though is I am sedentary mostly because of health, so the calories are beggining to pile up in the midsection. So will have to cut down on my 2 ice cream a night, and sugary snacks.
I know that I have really cut down on sugar, even eating the “whites” (rice, pasta, potatoes, bread) 24 hours after cooking and reheated.
Far less sugar, very low glycemic load, and I FEEL GREAT!!
“The body actually needs sugar to combat cancer cells.”
That is nuts!
