I knew there were hidden calories in sugar.. I just didn't know how much!
I was amazed to see that while surfing the web I came across the recommended amount, which
I happen to be going over daily by about 10-20gms. Ouch!
Anyway found a site you all should take a look at..
Here's some of what it said. I'd also like to note that I don't exactly how
Relaible the site is.. I just thought it made a good point.
"The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends: 37 grams for men (150 cal, 7.4tsp) and 25 grams for women (100 cal, 5tsp).
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends: 32 grams (128cal, 6.4tsp) for a 2000 calorie diet."
.."Sources claim that current daily sugar consumption in America is about 87 grams per day (350cal, 17.4tsp), and according to a USDA report in 2010, the average child consumes 365 calories of added sugar per day, or 91 gram (18.2 tsp)."
Here's the site(:
