Health notes

Sugar is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It provides energy, but excessive intake of added sugars is a public health concern. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. The World Health Organization advises keeping intake of free sugars under 10% of total energy. JECFA and EFSA have both evaluated sugars, and their safety has been assessed. Evidence links high consumption of added sugars to increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
