Sugars Guidelines

Sugars Guidelines recommend limiting added sugars in your diet to promote overall health and reduce risks like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. For adults, it's advised that added sugars make up no more than about 6-10% of daily calories. This often means being mindful of sweetened foods and drinks, such as sodas, desserts, and processed snacks. Naturally occurring sugars in fruits and vegetables are not included in this limit. Following these guidelines helps maintain balanced energy levels and supports long-term health by avoiding excessive sugar intake.
