Last month, a US Government advisory committee recommended that sugar be limited to 10 % of daily calories,making the first time the US has called for a limit on added sugars.
The Us Agriculture and Health and Human Services departments will take those recommendations into account when writing the final Guidelines, due by the end of the year.The WHO had previously suggested an upper limit for sugar consumption of around 10% but issued the 5 % guidance based on the presumed additional health benefits from cutting intake even further,though it said it had no solid evidence to support that.
