Answer
It depends on what your goal is: to lower blood sugar or to lose weight. However, if you are eating natural food, like fruit and veggies, you can eat as much as you want. "Fruit is nature's candy"
Incredibly however, the safe amount to comsume for processed food and drinks is very low. Now, the Center for Science in the Public Interest is saying the safe amount is only 40 grams a day. That's the amount in a can of soda pop. The epidemic of obesity and diabetes is partially caused by the sugary foods we eat and the corn sugar added to processed foods. United States Department of Agriculture advises people who eat a 2,000-calorie healthful diet to try to limit themselves to about 10 teaspoons of added sugars per day. The average American diet is getting 3 times that amount..
