World Health Organization (WHO) â The World Health Organization recommends that the daily sugar intake does not make more than 10 percent of your calorie intake per day. This means that the amount of sugar per day you can consume is around 50 grams. These recommendations were passed in 2002, but WHO is seeking to change their own guidelines by dropping its daily sugar intake recommendations from 10 percent of your calorie intake to 5 percent.
In terms of teaspoons, these amounts come to 6 teaspoons and 9 teaspoons respectively. For children and teenagers, how many grams of sugar should they have a day is regulated at 16 grams or 4 tsp daily for preschoolers and 12 grams or 3 tsp for children aged 4-8 years old. The recommended figures for teenagers are standardized at 20-32 grams of sugar daily or between 5 and 8 tsp of sugar every day.
