What sugar intake should I limit myself to?

I read somewhere that I should limit my sugar intake on a daily basis to 36g's per day. I would like more input for this. Your thoughts and advice?

  1. Hi . Most dietary guidelines refer to carbohyrates, which includes sugar, not to sugar itself. Here is a wonderful article from Mayo Clinic about how many grams of carbohydrates people should have, depending on their situations: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/carbohydrates/art-20045705. I hope this helps and that you are doing well. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
