Foods that Surprisingly Have More Sugar than Doughnuts

The American Heart Association and the World Health Organization recommend limiting your daily added sugar intake to nine teaspoons for men and six teaspoons for women. It's a good common practice to limit daily fructose intake to 25 grams or less from all sources including fruit for all genders. The average American, however, consumes around 20 teaspoons of added sugar a day, which is more than three times the recommended amount.

There is no doubt that the overconsumption of sugar is fueling the obesity and chronic epidemics we’re currently struggling with.

Here are a list of foods that actually higher amounts of sugar than doughnuts.

·      Starbuck’s Caramel Frappucino

·      Jamba Juice Banana Berry Smoothie

·      Odwalla Superfood Smoothie

·      Kraft French Style Fat Free Dressing

·      Snapple Peach Tea

·      Craisins Dried Cranberries

·      Naked Pomegranate Blueberry Juice
