What is the average sugar intake of a healthy young teen? |
Ok, just wondering, some people say its 35 grams but how is that possible if they recommend you to eat healthy things like milk, fruit and veggies when they contain alot of sugar. like b/c they say to drink 3 cups of skim milk a day for better health when each serving of milk has 12 grams of sugar which is already alot of sugar, i'm trying to be a healthy teen buy eating veggies and fruits and whole grains as on the health pyramid but my sugar intake seems to be high, so i'm just asking cause i do not want to have diabetes. any advice? well there is a difference the sugar you are getting in your fruits and your veggies are natural sugars while the sugar you would get in say cookies candies and cakes and junk would be processed sugars. as long as you exercise frequently 2-3 or more times a week, and don't overeat. you should be fine moderation is the key. good luck and god bless I have no clue really but I'd say that the average teen drinks 4 sodas which is about 30 g of sugar each. remember some have lots more, some have less. So that's an average of 120 g. And that doesn't include sugary foods. So let's guesstimate 50 g of sugar in food. That's 170g of sugar on average. quite a bit. |
