No more hidden sugars

Some foods contain natural sugars, like fruits, dairy products and grains. But too often, the foods we eat contain added sugars, and too many of them. Too much sugar increases your risk of chronic health problems like obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. To help you see exactly how much natural and added sugar a food contains, the Nutrition Facts label now includes a line just for added sugars. The USDA recommends no more than 10% of your daily calories come from added sugar. Other organizations, like the American Heart Association, recommend even less.
