Americans Must Stop Eating Sugar
Zoom Doggle
The American Heart Association say people must cut their sugar intake dramatically. And, you can see why, the typical American diet has three food groups: sugar, saturated fat, and marshmallow cereal! The diet of champions–not really.
In a new report, the AHA claims all this sugar is making Americans fat and setting us up for diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and cardiovascular disease.
The AHA suggests slashing sugar consumption, big time! You’re average Joe sucks down 22 teaspoons of sugar each day.
The recommendation snipes at the beverage industry, with the AHA saying people should eat no more than 100 to 150 calories of added sugar per day. That’s 6 teaspoons for women, and 9 teaspoons for men.
Sure, it’s a hatchet job to what we normally eat, but it still seems high to me. When I put just one teaspoon of sugar into my coffee I feel bad. What about you?
