How much sugar is too much sugar?
Google says this
>According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day are (7): Men: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons). Women: 100 calories per day (25 grams or 6 teaspoons).
So this basically means even a single can of coke covers your daily intake?
Considering how much sugar there is in other stuff too... am I fucked?
You're not fucked , you just need to stop shoveling sugar in your mouth .
Notice that it said "added sugar" so the sugar in whole foods isn't counted in the recommendation.
Best case scenario is not to eat any added sugar ofc.
>There is a difference between added sugar and "whole food" sugar
>Implying modern fruit aren't genetically engineered sugar bomb
>Muh fibre counter the sugar .
>But at least it's sugar WITH vitamin and water
adding a fuckton of sugar to anything is so normalized it's no wonder there's so many fat fucks in this world
so if i drink 1 coke can a day and eat foods with no sugar at all it's worse than if i eat 30 fruits a day?
what does sugar do besides make you fat? I'm not fat but i eat a lot of sugar
>but it's "natural sugar" so it's healthier!
The point I was trying to make was that you can have that soda and eat normal food without fucking yourself up too much.
eating sugar isn't so much a bad thing but people seldom know how much is in their food. Like those people who try to lose weight but still drink shit like starbucks everyday and wonder why they aren't getting anywhere.
you dont even need sugar as long as you eat carbs anyway since your body sees it all the same and makes glycogen for fuel
also the thing with sugar is that it increases appetite so you eat more thus become fatter as you lose control
