The AHA is now advising women to consume less than 6 teaspoons a day (25 grams) and for men to consume less than 10 teaspoons a day (38 grams). For women they want sugar to be less than 100 calories and for men less than 150 calories in a day. Along with their warnings of sugar the AHA is targeting the soft drink industry claiming that people are not aware of the high sugar content in these products. They have reported that since the 1980’s too many of people’s daily calories are coming from these drinks, now the beverage industry is firing back stating that the cause of obesity is lack of exercise. We are likely just at the beginning of hearing the debate between the two! I am happy to know that the AHA is finally taking a stand and I hope to see them take a stronger stand against
