What's the maximum amount of sugar you should eat daily and does it matter if you're eating it from natural foods?

Answer 1

United States Department of Agriculture advises people who eat a 2,000-calorie healthful diet to try to limit themselves to about 10 teaspoons of added sugars per day. The average American diet is getting 3 times that amount..
