The amount of sugar a person should consume in one day can vary based on dietary guidelines and individual health needs. The World Health Organization recommends that added sugars make up less than 10% of total daily caloric intake, which is about 50 grams (or about 12 teaspoons) for a standard 2,000-calorie diet. However, for optimal health, they suggest reducing this to below 5% or about 25 grams (6 teaspoons) per day. It's important to consider both natural sugars found in fruits and dairy and added sugars in processed foods when evaluating daily intake.
