“It’s really the extra calories from sugar in our diet that causes health problems like diabetes and obesity, not anything inherently unhealthy about sugar itself,” says Jule Anne Henstenberg, RD, director of the Nutrition Program at La Salle University in Philadelphia.     

Todays Health Comments    

  We all agree that foods with a lot of sugar just seem to taste good, so we eat eat too much of them. The  area  that stands out in this article is the explosion of sugared drinks in: teas, sports drinks, juice-based drinks. Yes, consumption of “added sugar” in the United States, has grown by 20%. This trend is becoming also worldwide, according to the WHO.

What We Need to Remember

 In a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, that’s just 200 calories — or eight heaping teaspoons of table sugar at 25 calories each. A single can of regular soda, with the equivalent of 10 teaspoons, would put you over.
