daily sugar allowance for adults
The recommendation that sugar should account for no more than 10% of the calories in the diet, was passed in 2002. It works out at about 50g a day for an adult of normal weight, said the WHO.It is a tragedy that it has taken 10 years for the WHO to think about changing their recommendation on sugar. However, a number of experts now think 10% is too high, amid rising obesity levels around the world.he recommended sugar intake will stay at below 10% of total calorie intake a day, with 5% the target, says the WHO.
