About Total Sugars

Total sugars include naturally occurring sugars (e.g., fruit and milk) and added sugars. Limiting frequent high intakes of added sugars supports dental and metabolic health.

⚠️ Too little

No deficiency state; sugars are not required in the diet as a specific nutrient.

🚫 Too much

Frequent high intakes of added sugars increase tooth decay risk and can contribute to excess energy intake.
