There is no daily allowance for sugar, because essentially most of the sugars in the things we eat are not necessary for the body to create energy. Sugar is poison. The simple answer is that we should not consume any sugar. But since sugar is in almost everything we eat, no more than 40 grams per 2000 calories consumed. That is less than one can of Coca-Cola. Sugar is just as dangerous as smoking, in one's diet of consumption; so why is it that there is no Surgeon General's warning on items that contain too much sugar? As I have already said, any added sugar is detrimental to one's health. The answer probably has to do with money, the taxes received by the government on sugary foods.

According to the Anne Collins weight loss program, "Official US Guidelines advise a maximum of 40g refined sugar for every 2000 calories consumed. This equates to 8 percent of calories."
