How much sugar can we take in a day? The most common are that various types of "healthy food" (muesli, fruit yogurt, various healthy sweets, etc.) are full of sugar, and that the intake of one such food for one meal may satisfy the body's need for sugar throughout the day. But it's not just pure, white or yellow, sugar in question. In addition to sucrose, there are glucose, fructose, maltose, corn syrup, hydrolyzed starch, invert sugar syrup and molasses. These are all types of sugars that are used in different ways in the production of food that we consume every day. Nutrition experts believe that sugars should not make up more than 5 percent of the total energy, ie calorie intake, which we take into the body with food and drink during the day. And that is approximately 30 grams, or about 7.5 teaspoons, writes the British Metro. According to a person's age, the table of daily values of sugar intake should look like this: - Adults: no more than 30 grams / equivalent of 7 sugar cubes. - Children between 7 and 10 years: no more than 24 grams / equivalent of 6 sugar cubes. - Children between 4 and 6 years: no more than 19 grams / equivalent of 5 sugar cubes. - There are no defined values for children under the age of 4, but it is recommended to avoid sweetened drinks and foods to which sugar has been added. These amounts refer to free sugars, ie those that are fed are added in the production process, as well as to sugars present in honey, syrups and fruit juices. Sugars that can be found in milk, fruits and vegetables are not considered free sugars and it is not necessary to pay special attention to their intake. These sugars, however, are included in the total quantities of sugars stated on the product declarations containing them. #Clicks&Shots #noise.cash #originalcontent #originalphoto #life #Howmuchsugarcanwetakeinaday? #sugar #sweet #lifestyle
