Sugar requirementsThere is no requirement for sugar, but there is a minimum requirement for total carbohydrate, which is 130 grams/day for male and female adults and children. Most people eat much more than the minimum requirement. The recommendations for sugar intake are controversial. The World Health Organization recommends that added sugars contribute no more than 10% of total calories. By that criterion, a person on a 2000-calorie diet should consume no more than 50 grams of carbohydrate in the form of sugar. (One teaspoon of sugar provides 4 grams of carbohydrate.) On the other hand, the National Academy of Sciences Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) sets the cut-off at 25% of calories, or 125 grams of carbohydrate from sugar on a 2000-calorie diet. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends limiting sugar to 6 to 10% of calories. from sugar.
