Posted in: Today's ChiliAdded sugars make up 13 percent of American adults’ calorie intake, according to new government data from 2005 to 2010.
According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, calories from sugars and solid fats should only make up 5 to 15 percent of our total calories each day.
The new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report also shows that men consume more total calories from sugar than women, though there is not a difference between the sexes when looking at the percentage of sugar intake in total consumed calories.
