There is no daily allowance for sugar, because essentially most of the sugars in the things we eat are not necessary for the body to create energy. Sugar is poison. The simple answer is that we should not consume any sugar. But since sugar is in almost everything we eat, no more than 40 grams per 2000 calories consumed. That is less than one can of Coca-Cola. Sugar is just as dangerous as smoking, in one's diet of consumption; so why is it that there is no Surgeon General's warning on items that contain too much sugar? As I have already said, any added sugar is detrimental to one's health. The answer probably has to do with money, the taxes received by the government on sugary foods.

One 55-gram serving of a particular cereal supplies 270 mg of sodium 11 of the recommended daily allowance. How many moles and atoms of sodium are in the recommended daily allowance?

The recommended daily allowance of sodium is approximately 2,300 mg. To find the number of moles, divide this amount by the molar mass of sodium (approximately 23 g/mol): ( \frac{2300 , \text{mg}}{23,000 , \text{mg/mol}} \approx 0.1 , \text{mol} ). Since one mole of sodium contains Avogadro's number (approximately ( 6.022 \times 10^{23} )) of atoms, the total number of sodium atoms in the recommended daily allowance is about ( 0.1 , \text{mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} , \text{atoms/mol} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{22} ) atoms.
