Letâs sum up what weâve learned in this chapterâ¦. 1  Choose fats found in fish, nuts, and vegetables. 2  Know your limits on fats, salt, and sugars. 3  Use the Nutrition Facts label on foods.

People will be advised to halve the amount of sugar in their diet, under new World Health Organization guidance. The recommended sugar intake will stay at below 10% of total calorie intake a day, with 5% the target, says the WHO.The suggested limits apply to all sugars added to food, as well as sugar naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit concentrates.he recommendation that sugar should account for no more than 10% of the calories in the diet, was passed in 2002. It works out at about 50g a day for an adult of normal weight, said the WHO. It is a tragedy that it has taken 10 years for the WHO to think about changing their recommendation on sugar.
