The World Health Organization will accept comments through its web site at www.who.int on its draft guideline on sugar intake until March 31. The W.H.O. currently recommends sugar should make up less than 10% of total energy intake per day. The draft guideline also proposes less than 10% and further suggests that sugar making up less than 5% of total energy intake per day would have additional benefits.
For an adult of normal body mass index (B.M.I.), 5% would be about 25 grams of sugar per day
