Sexual violence. Sexual violence is a serious public health and human rights problem with both short-and long-term consequences on women's physical, mental, and sexual and reproductive health.
For an average 2000-calorie diet, the World Health Organization recommends that a maximum of 10% of the total calories come from added sugar. This equates to less than 50 grams of added sugar per day. Reducing daily intake of sugar can improve diabetes control. 2  The amount of sugar eaten daily can vary based on activity level and overall health. 3  Be sure your physician is aware of any specific dietary modifications. 4  Women may reduce the daily sugar intake to 17 g per day and men can aim for 25 g per day.
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends limiting the amount of added sugars you consume to no more than half of your daily discretionary calories allowance. For most American women, thatâs no more than 100 calories per day, or about 6 teaspoons of sugar. For men, itâs 150 calories per day, or about 9 teaspoons. The AHA recommendations focus on all added sugars, without singling out any particular types such as high-fructose corn syrup.
