After reading the American Heart Association study on sugar, I'm doing a survey of the foods I eat. The AHA said that telling people to cut down on sugar hasn't worked so they are now giving specific guidelines: 6 tsps daily maximum for women and 10 for men. BTW, a teaspoon of sugar = 4.2 grams.

Today in a meal replacement shake I noted there were 38 grams of sugar. Akkk! I don't know if I could get through a sugarless day, but am tracking what I do eat, so I hope I can cut down.

Naturally, sugars in fruits don't count; it's only the added sugars in processed foods.
