Sugar isn't the enemy.
When you’re at the supermarket looking at food labels, you may have noticed a new section on some Nutrition Facts panels: added sugar. By 2021, it'll become mandatory for companies to list how much added sugar is in each product, and it's enough to make you wonder: Is sugar really so bad for you?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends limiting added sugar to 10% of your total daily calories. On a 2,000 calorie diet, that's 50 grams per day, but calorie needs vary individually. If 50 grams sounds strict to you, the American Heart Association recommends that women consume no more than 24 grams of added sugar per day, and men stay under 36 grams of added sugar per day.
The number one source of added sugar in the U.S. is beverages, which also do very little by way of satiety. These other food categories also often contain added sugars: Read the label: The first ingredient should be a real, whole food— not sugar by a different alias, or sugar itself.Know the difference between snacks versus treats: If you like sweets and your goal is to eat a real treat — whatever that means for you, personally — decide if an item that contains added sugar is"worth it" for you to miss dessert today.
