How much sugar grams is to much

There's nothing wrong with sugar, unless you have a medical condition that dictates otherwise. This applies to all forms of sugar even HFCS.

Don't worry too much about sugar as long as it's coming from whole foods like raw fruit, vegetables, milk, etc. It's the refined added sugars you need to limit.

Unless you're diabetic and have different needs.

can you tell me, for each study, who paid to have it conducted?

because refined sugars are empty calories
Plus, if you eat a very high sugar diet you tend to have energy swings as your blood sugar rises and drops.

You can discover that by reading the studies, notes, cliffs and abstracts. Not that hard. Unlike you, I don't rely on wikipedia for my sources.

It's the refined added sugars you need to limit.

Can you explain why you state that?

listen dude, we know you love pop tarts, but cutting down on sugar is NOT a bad thing to do - it can ONLY be good for you as long as you're reasonable. why come in here and start putting down other peoples' choices while they're trying to get healthy?

I am no way putting down other peoples choices. I am trying to discourage spreading of propaganda and old wives tales. Also trying to explain to people that there's one less thing they need to worry about if they don't have a specific medical reason to worry about it. I also never said it was a bad thing.

Fear mongering over sugar isn't necessary.

question. is it POSSIBLE that the corn industry is spreading their own propaganda that says HFCS is ok? I'm just asking if it's possible.

Anything is possible. I do enjoy how you cry conspiracy in the absence of any scientific refute.

Sources or propaganda/myth.

that work?

I need to make me some popcorn

But to answer the OP's question, I have always wondered the same thing. How much sugar is too much.
But instead of worrying about that now, i'm going to try harder to make sure it comes from things like fruits and veggies and yogurt.
Not candy and chocolate, which are my weaknesses. I'd say if you dont have a medical problem, dont worry about it.

Can you explain why you state that?

One of the main reasons for cutting out as much refined sugar as possible is because sugar has no nutritional value. If you can eat an orange or apple instead of refined sugar, you will not only get the carb energy you need, but will also get some vitamin C and other vitamins as well. Plus fiber, which will fill you up, causing you to eat less.

HFCS are metabolized differently than sugars. The liver is taxed to work harder when metabolizing HFCS. HFCS is not for human consumption.
