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.
The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition reviewed sugar guidelines. Advises adults restrict intake to 30g a day - seven teaspoons or cubes. And for children aged seven to 10 they advise 24g or six sugar cubes a day. Measures are 'vital' to try and combat obesity and diabetes epidemic.
