Are you a tea sipper? That’s a wise choice. Tea is like a cupful of wellbeing, brimming with naturally occurring antioxidants and other health-promoting compounds.
Got a sweet tooth—or a semi-sweet one? You’re not alone. American adults consume an average of 17 teaspoons of added sugar daily. That’s 129 cups (or nearly 60 pounds) of added sugar every year! The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025 recommends Americans two years and older keep their intake of added sugar to less than 10% of total daily calories. That’s about 12 teaspoons of added sugar and nearly 200 extra calories for a 2,000-calorie eating plan.
