Will you be able to take only 5% of fat from sugar?
It has been proposed by World Health Organization proposes to reduce added sugars for focusing on health benefits. Extra sugar intake must be less than 10% of total calories intake of a day. Americans are now consuming on an average more than 15% of their routine calories from extra sugars intake that makes a total of 300 calories a day. These results are based on a 2,000 calorie based diet.
Rachel Johnson, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association and a nutrition professor at the University of Vermont says "The key point is that we are consuming way too much added sugars for good health, Added sugars include table sugar, brown sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, maple syrup, honey, molasses and other caloric sweeteners in prepared and processed foods and beverages. It does not include sugars that occur naturally in fruit, fruit juice and milk and dairy products”.
