                                According to the World Health Organization (WHO), reducing free sugar intake to below 5% of total daily energy offers additional health benefits. While the body can use sugar as energy, especially from natural sources, the average person consumes significantly more added sugar than recommended, often hidden in processed foods and beverages. Understanding and tracking your weekly sugar intake is a crucial step towards better health and preventing chronic diseases.
