The generally safe amount of added sugar to consume is up to 25 grams (about 6 teaspoons) per day for most adults, according to health guidelines.
🩺 Guidelines for Safe Sugar Intake
- Limit added sugars to less than 10% of your total daily calories; for a 2,000-calorie diet, this is about 50 grams.
- For better health, aiming for 25 grams or less daily is recommended, especially if you have conditions like diabetes.
- Natural sugars in fruits and dairy are not included in this limit and are healthier options.
🏥 Practical Tips
- Choose whole fruits over sugary snacks.
- Use spices like cinnamon or cardamom to add flavor without sugar.
- Be cautious with packaged foods and beverages, which often contain hidden sugars.
Consult an endocrinologist or a dietitian for personalized advice, especially if you have blood sugar concerns or diabetes.
