                                According to the World Health Organization, adults should consume less than 10% of their total daily energy intake from free sugars, which often accumulate quickly through desserts. The good news is that this doesn't mean banishing sweets entirely. Many nutritionists and health experts agree that including dessert in your diet in moderation can be a sustainable and satisfying approach to healthy eating.
