Sugar. It's in everything! Is it good for us? Well, the sugar industry thinks so. However, the World Health Organization says a healthy adult should only have six teaspoons of sugar per day or 100 total calories from their daily diet.

For perspective:

• The average American consumes 22 teaspoons per day (not 6 as recommended.)
• A 12 oz Soda has 140 calories (40 more calories than the recommended amount.)
• Americans spend nearly 3 billion dollars on Halloween alone each year.
• Sugar makes you fat, it specifically makes your belly fat.
• Sugar causes heart disease by changing the muscle protein of the heart.
