Either parents have no expectations at all, which isn't unlikely, or these two points are mutually exclusive. 10% of calories from added sugar is still insane. For context, I track my diet, which is by no means healthy, and I get on average about 5% of my daily calories from sugar - including both added sugar and natural sugar.
In america it’s an improvement. There are a lot of sane countries when it comes to sugar and the IS is not one.
The weasel word is 'added' sugar. If you sweeten something with naturally occurring sugars it doesn't count.
If you add sugars, even natural ones, to an item, those are added sugars.
I don't think that's what it means. Apples are sweet. You can make applesauce out of it without adding any sugar (no matter what kind of sugar) and it's still pretty sweet. Throw some ripe strawberries or something in and it's got more sweetness, but still no added sugars, just another food that happens to have naturally-occurring sugars within. You can then add more sugar (even if it was extracted from a plant with naturally-occurring sugars) to make it sweeter yet, and THAT'S where the added sugars come into play.
10% of calories per week, if you average 5% daily, you actually exceed the new rule at ~25%/week (5 day week)
That is not how percentages work my friend, unless they count in very strange ways.
I'm not a mathetist, but I don't think this adds up
Ah, the correct term is mathetarian
That's not how percentages work.
If I eat 5g sugar and 95g of something else each day, just for easy math, it comes out at 25g sugar vs 475g other stuff. That's 5% daily and still 5% within 5 days.
