Who doesn't love a nice sweet dessert after a delicious meal? The thing is too much sugar is bad for you. Sugar can cause cavities, weight gain, low energy levels, and even heart disease. So how much sugar should you have per day? The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) for women and 9 teaspoons (36 grams) for men of added sugar per day. That's about the amount in a can of soda. And the average American consumes almost triple that amount!
