The new guidelines state most women should consume no more than 100 calories, and men no more than 150 calories, of added sugar. These numbers average out to about 6 to 9 teaspoons, or 25 to 37.5 grams, of sugar a day.
That's why the World Health Organization (WHO) just announced that it's halving its recommended sugar intake for adults, from the original 10% of total daily calories to 5%. For a normal weight adult, that's about 25 grams, or 6 teaspoons, per day. Of course, that's total sugar.
