The FDA needs to update their nutrition facts label to show the recommended daily sugar intake. There are daily recommendations for protein, fat, and any other major source of energy/vitamin/mineral, but even with multiple studies showing an approximate recommended daily intake, the FDA has refused to inform citizens of daily recommended sugar intake.
Multiple studies have shown the direct correlation between excess sugar-intake and early-onset diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, heart-disease, and many other preventable health issues.
The American Heart Association recommends no more than 9.5 teaspoons everyday.
80% of food in the US market place has added sugar and 100% don't show daily recommended sugar intake. Why not label? #labelsmatter #sugarette
