Solution:
Limit your sugar consumption to:
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day are:
Men: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons)

To me, this is still way too much, we get our energy from natural glucose (sugars) from protein, vegetable, and fruit break down from digestion!….

My personal goal, for you to get the outcome you want for your health.  Now, enjoy your food, drink, and live life to the fullest, but watch your sugar consumption!!!…
