How much suger does the body need a day?

Answer 1

The AHA suggests an added-sugar limit of no more than 100 calories per day (about 6 teaspoons or 24 grams of sugar) for most women and no more than 150 calories per day (about 9 teaspoons or 36 grams of sugar) for most men.

Answer 2

You do not need to eat any sugar, ever. The body needs glucose which it makes naturally from the food you eat like potatoes, bread, fruit, and vegetables. If you decide to have sugar or a product that contains sugar (even though it would be better for your body if you did not) make sure that it is natural, unprocessed, unrefined sugar (pure cane sugar, glucose). You especially want to avoid fructose, which is the sugar that is in soda's, sports drinks, candy and many other things.

Answer 3

Question: How much sugar should I eat each day? Answer: The USDA suggests that you get about half of your calories from carbohydrates. The sugar found naturally in fruit and vegetables is OK because the fruits or vegetables add a lot of good nutrition. Sugar from corn syrup or table sugar should really be used sparingly because it adds no nutritional value, just empty calories. The USDA suggests that the amount of added sugar calories (the sugar not found naturally in the fruits or vegetables you eat) should fit into your daily discretionary calories. Your daily discretionary calories is the number of calories you can eat each day over the amount you need nutritionally and not gain weight. For most of us, that discretionary calorie budget is around 100 to 300 calories per day.
