A member asked:
If i am having a smoothie during lunch and there is 60 grams of natural sugar (no sugar added) is that too much sugar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
150 g Sugar: It takes a dose of about 150 g of sugar (sucrose, half fructose, half glucose) to induce triglyceride formation. If the rest of your meal has 90 g of carbohydrate from high glycemic index foods like pasta, rice or white bread, you are at risk of raising your triglycerides, and gaining body fat.
