How Much Is Too Much? New Study Casts Doubts On Sugar Guidelines
"By now, you've very likely heard the case for limiting sugar."
"Over the past two years the World Health Organization and the U.S. Dietary Guidelines have begun urging us to consume no more than 10 percent of our daily calories from added sugar. Drinking more than one sugar-sweetened soda a day can put you over that limit."
"But a new industry-funded study published in a prominent medical journal questions the evidence used to generate the specific recommendations to limit sugar in our diets."
"'Overall, I would say the guidelines are not trustworthy,' says study author Bradley Johnston, a clinical epidemiologist at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto who also teaches biostatistics."
