How to get through one.
It's more about what you're eating along with the sugar that matters. Almost all of the calories from fruit are from sugar (100% sugar oh noes!!!) but fruit is extremely nutritious as well. You shouldn't limit your consumption of fruit at all based on sugar content. However, empty sugars, ingredients that contain sugar and no real nutrients, can be completely eliminated. White sugar, cane juice, corn syrup and any other empty sugar can be completely eliminated.
Answer
The number of grams in one serving does not matter. The thing that matters is how many total grams per 24hr period are you eating after adding all the servings? Sugar is store as glycogen in the liver and body cells. Liver glycogen serves as the bodies supplier of glucose after the body cell storage is depleted. So the liver holds 100-120 grams of glucose total. Some proteins are glucogenic, meaning that they are converted into glucose for use, albeit a small ammount. But how much does your muscles hold? I will estimate that your 300grams total. For those of you in aerobics or running, you will feel better after a workout if you refill your muscle sugar stores, which makes you much less sluggish; but, this replacement is only for hard working atheletes, not for people looking for an excuse to put down that supersize shake after a walk to the counter. Oh, by the way, when burning calories (kcal). 1 gram glucose = 4.3 kcal.
