There was a BBC documentary about sugar a couple of months back. The WHO recommended limit for a daily dose of unbound sugar (that is, sugar that isn't bound in fibrous material in fruit and vegetables) is 6 teaspoons a day, and they had a single fizzy drink that had 18 spoons on its own, a ready meal with 12 tsps or a portion of noodles with 9 tsps. https://youtu.be/_dqKmOLpofo?t=25m40s https://youtu.be/_dqKmOLpofo?t=25m40s The original poster on this comment thread is really wrong when he says that being able to trace back your food to standard ingredients will not help your health. It's extremely unlikely that someone cooking their own food would put 60g of sugar into their evening meal. Imagine cooking for a family of five, and putting a quarter of a kilo of sugar into the recipe!
