“The working recommendation is to try to limit added sugars to the diet to 10% of total calories. So if you're somebody who likes to put maple syrup on whatever you might do, or somebody who likes to put honey on whatever you might do, then you may want to limit that to typical let's say 2,000 calorie diet. You may want to limit it to like a maximum of 40, 50 grams a day.”
