You do not need added sugar. Strictly from a health point of view (like many athletes) you should ban all sugar from your diet. This means sugar in the form of soda, cookies, cereal, deserts, even stuff like canned vegetables and processed meat like spam, baloney and sausages have sugar added to them.

Sugar in the form of fruit, (most) bread and self formed sugar from starch like pasta are fine and controllable by your body.

It is mainly not the sugar itself but the high dosage that does the 'damage'. The sugar rush sets your body of in a high followed by a dip (insulin is released in high dosage to counter the overflow of sugar in your blood). Some scientists 'believe' it to be a cause for diabetes.

If your body has to process the sugar itself this is exactly what your body needs.

Depending on caloric intake, they say for a healthy 2000 cal/day person, we should get about 60-80 g sugar and almost all that from natural sources. In fact, really, all of it will come from natural sources (fruit has a TON of sugar. . . 1 c OJ has 40 g sugar) because if you add any processed sugar, you will surely go over the 80 g limit.

Not too much, and not nesisarily a "per day" amount some lollies and such are ok here and there, but no more than maybe 200g a in a couple of days, because alot of other things also have sugar in them, like soft drink.ec.t

The goal should be to eat as little sugar as possible. Sugars from fruits are okay, but any processed foods with sugar should be avoided. Granted, that's hard to do, but just try to keep it as low as possible. Sugar has no nutritional benefit.
