Tag: Sugar vs fried food

According to the American Heart Association, the average American consumes well over the recommended daily amount of added sugar, but deep-fried foods also pose significant health risks. This comparison begs the question: What is more harmful, sugar or fried food?

According to the World Health Organization, limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake and industrially-produced trans-fats to less than 1% offers significant health benefits. The great debate over what's worse, sugar or fried food, isn't a simple either/or question but a complex nutritional puzzle with serious implications for our health.
