WHO guidelines -Sugar intake for adults and Children

Recommendation from WHO is also similar
WHO recommends, to reduce intake of free sugar throughout life course(Strong recommendation)
WHO recommends ,in both adults and children reducing the intake of free sugars to less than 10 % of total energy intake
WHO suggest a further reduction of the intake of free sugars to below 5% of total energy intake

This means in an adult who consumes a 2,000 calorie per day diet, no more than 200 calories (about 12 teaspoons, or 48 grams of sugar) should come from added sugars.

The American Heart Association recommended daily intake of sugar goes further and they recommend no more than 100 calories (about 6 teaspoons or 24 grams of sugar) of added sugars per day for most women and no more than 150 calories (about 9 teaspoons or 36 grams of sugar) of added sugars per day for most men.
