6 Teaspoons Of Sugar?




I read an interesting fact online about how much sugar a woman should have per day. The amount is 6 teaspoons of sugar per day!

I thought about how much sugar I consume in a day. I try to just use 2 teaspoons of sugar with a cup of coffee or tea - mostly tea because coffee always kind of makes me jittery!

But that is just for the beverages. What about the sugar that I have with my cereal and the sugar that is in the soda that I drink? I think that is way above the suggested limit!

Don't know what I would do without my morning tea though but reading about how much sugar one should consume has me thinking about cutting down.

So do you meet or exceed the suggested amount of sugar that one is suppose to consume per day?
