Pour some sugar on..: Chances are you already know that eating too much sugar isn’t good for you. Yet you’re probably still overdoing it: Americans average about 20 tablespoons of added sugars per day, compared to the recommended 6 tablespoons for women and 9 tablespoons for men. http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/how-sugar-affects-your-body
