The Standard American Diet sneaks in about 71g of added sugar each day, twice the limit for women, from everyday stuff like a full soda, yogurt with granola, sports drinks, and a cupcake bite.
It adds up fast because sugar hides in so many “healthy” or convenient foods and drinks, hitting 109g without you even noticing.
Over time, this raises blood sugar, stirs inflammation, shifts gut bacteria balance, cuts white blood cells’ ability to fight germs, and links to extra weight, higher heart risks, blood sugar issues, and mood dips.
