We are faced with choices every day- one of those being whether to eat foods with added sugars or naturally occurring sugars. This video explains the major differences between these two types of sugars and follows someone throughout their day as they are faced with the choice of going above or staying below the recommended limit for added sugars.
Even if you don’t have a sweet tooth, it is hard to avoid eating large amounts of added sugar each day. Watch this video to learn the recommended limit for added sugars, and how to make choices in order to stay within these limits!
