People are recommended to limit their added sugar consumption by the American Heart Association in a statement as quoted by news agencies Tuesday.

...The organization said on Monday most women should take in no more than 100 calories of added sugar per day, or six teaspoons, while for most men the recommendation is just 150 calories or nine teaspoons.

...Too much sugar intake not only makes people fat, but also increases their risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, according to the statement.
