[danielcy]

The World Health Organization recommends adults consume no more than 25 grams of sugar per day what do you think

Should be 0

 

[Sinbad]

Agreed with Scott

 

[Ockie]

I enjoy my coffee sweet, but have switched to suger free soft drinks at least.

 

[Pitbull]

That is a bit harsh. Sugar = Energy. It depends on your lifestyle tbh.

Should be 0

Agree

 

[Sinbad]

No, sugar =/= energy.

 

[maumau]

also think it should be 0 but i'm addicted.

 

[Hemps]

Since dropping sugar completely from my diet, i have dropped a kilo, have far more energy and generally feel better health wise.

 

[Pitbull]

No, sugar =/= energy.

If you're talking about refined sugar then yes you can get it from other sources but it's diet dependant. You can't live without sugar...

 

[The_Ogre]

Dropped sugar completely about two years ago
No sugar, sweets, cake...f0kkol

Actually I think I'm lying because I buy a 2 litre creme soda every now and then after I'd had one too many the previous night. But that's like once a month nowadays.

Someone should tell my parents I'm dead then, I'm sure they miss me...

 

[Pitbull]

Yes you can

Impossible... No fruit then nothing, no form of sugar intake?

Google gluconeogenesis.

 

[Pitbull]

Google gluconeogenesis.

I know the body generates glucose itself in limited quantities. But are you telling me you can survive on a ZERO sugar intake?

Edit: Nvm, I googled that question. Seems like we can. Wow, I didn't know that

Yup

 

[Pox]

Article should say refined sugar. Your body processes carbohydrates into sugar, which is why you don't need extra sugar

 

[shusay]

Should be 0

Let me guess: the most exercise you get is walking from your car to the nearest door.

Try doing any intense activity for more than 15 minutes three times a week while consuming no sugar and let me know how it goes.

 

[shusay]

Yup

BS

Have you ever heard of glycogen? Can you advise how low levels are restored in the body when there is no sugar intake?
