How Much Sugar is Healthy?

According to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, it's recommended no more than 8 teaspoons/day of added sugar based on a 2,000 calories/day diet. That’s 32 grams if you’re reading labels, and about 6% of your total calories for the day.
That means:
* 32 total grams / 4 grams per teaspoon = < 8 teaspoons added sugar/day
* 1 teaspoon sugar = 1 sugar cube = 1 sugar packet
