Sugar is more than just a staple of a stocked pantry, it’s a staple in almost everyone’s diet. In this day and age, it’s almost impossible to find products that don’t have sugar in them somewhere on the ingredients list. In May, the Federal government said that in 2018, food nutrition labels would be required to list the amounts of added sugar. On the heels of this announcement, it brings into focus the question of just how bad is sugar for the human body? The New York Times-Well Blog recently published a Q & A article with scientist and experts to try and tackle that tough question.
According to the scientist, people should be less concerned about the type of sugar that is added to food but instead with the lack of fiber that would balance it out.

While three apples and a 16oz bottle of a sugary drink contain the same amount of sugar in grams, the key difference is the fiber. Soda obviously has none, while an apple has about 20% of the recommended daily fiber in it. Fiber helps you feel full faster so most people won’t end up eating 3 apples, but they can easily drink the whole bottle of soda. Fiber also slows down the time it takes for the sugar to find its way to the liver.
The general consensus among the experts is that moderation is the most important thing. For most healthy people, 6 teaspoons a day is an acceptable amount.
