A common misconception among people regarding sugar is that its appearance is only visual.

What people fail to grasp is the fact that most of your daily sugar consumption comes from hidden sources of food that you tend to use from day to day.

A recently published study from the 'American Heart Association' has provided guidelines for the average American's sugar consumption. According to these guidelines, the sugar intake for women should be limited to a hundred calories or six teaspoons a day, while the sugar intake for men should be limited to nine teaspoons which is 150 calories per day.

Americans tend to disregard these guidelines and go on with consuming at least 475 of sugar calories per day. What's amazing is the fact that these people don't even realize where all this added sugar is coming from. Hence, it's about time you took a good hard look in your kitchen and got rid of the sources that provide this hidden sugar.
