The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends us to limit "free sugar" intake to no more
than 5 % of the total daily Calories consumed. Sugars like sucrose are considered "free
sugars" and provide about 4 Calories per gram. If an individual consumes 2000 Calories in a
day, what is the maximum amount of sugar they are advised to take in? How does this amount
compare to the added sugars found in popular soft drinks?
