If you want to calculate how much natural sugar per day you are eating, just
add the sugar content of fruits, vegetables and dairy products you have eaten.
Since I cook full time, I try to reduce
the added sugar content in every recipe and bulk up the fruit.
As such, the data show very low intakes of vegetables, fruits and their derivatives, low consumption of cereals, mainly refined, and high intake of meats and their derivatives and products prepared with high sodium, fat and
added sugar content.
The best way to gauge
the added sugar content (for now) is to look at both the grams of sugar and the ingredients list.
The new labels will indicate
the added sugar content of food, with the goal of making it easier for you to make healthier food choices.
