Wow. I did t realize how easy it is to exceed the suggested daily limit of added sugar!
Added sugars include sugars that are added during the processing of foods (such as sucrose or dextrose), foods packaged as sweeteners (such as table sugar), sugars from syrups and honey, and sugars from concentrated fruit or vegetable juices. They do not include naturally occurring sugars that are found in milk, fruits, and vegetables. The Daily Value for added sugars is 50 grams per day based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet.
For most Americans, the main sources of added sugars are sugar-sweetened beverages, baked goods, desserts, and sweets.
