Usually, we are trying to cut back on salt but now The World Health Organization has put out new guidelines for our daily consumption of sugar. The organization says no more that 10 percent of our total energy should come from added sugar. (Sugar used in cooking, baking or in the manufacturing process as opposed to natural sugars found in fruits and vegetables.)
To figure out how much sugar is in a serving, check the nutritional label for sugar ( listed in grams) and divide that number by 4. For example, if the label says 8 grams, you are getting 2 teaspoons of sugar per serving.
Good job those Christmas goodies are almost gone!
