(Natural News) It may be an understatement to say there is a large scale sugar addiction in the world today. It seems we like everything sweeter, and are willing to overlook the health consequences to satisfy our sweet tooth.
Back in the early 1800’s, the average American consumed about 9 grams of sugar a day. Fast forward to today, and we find that number has increased to 82 grams per day, with children and adolescents getting about 16 percent of their daily caloric intake from added sugars alone. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends no more than 25 grams of added sugar a day for women, 38 grams for men, and between 12 and 25 grams for children (depending on age) per day.
