AHA's recommendation of no more than 24g of ADDED sugar is from sugary drinks, baked goods, candy, cereals, dairy products and desserts.
Tho my posts were about the AHA recommendation & refined sugar...that the O.P. asked about ofc. I sweeten my overnight oats with a half banana or blueberries almost every day...but the O.P. was talking about processed sugars & sweets. She has soda, cookies, ice cream & iced coffees....added & refined sugars! That was her question & I answered with a totally different view of what “occasional” added sugar means tho AND how it can harm a nutritional & balanced diet when it adds up. I follow the AHA guideline except for the occasional treat...once or twice a week TOTAL.
edit: AND..there aren’t many ppl that ask if they are eating too many fruits...

I think we can agree that too much added sugar is not healthy. As long as you get your glucose taken regularly and you know you are not running high, you should be fine.
Having a couple sodas a week is not going to give you cirrohsis of the liver, unless you have other health issues.
It's good to be aware of what you are eating.

Seems to me it's all about moderation. While I've never cared for sodas or sweet tea, life wouldn't be nearly as pleasant without the occasional slice of birthday cake or a fried pie from the Varsity. And what's wrong with splitting a brownie with ice cream for dessert? I also like syrup on my waffles and strawberry jam on an English muffin.
Well into the 8th decade here and no major negative effects so far.
Another one showing the difference between 50 and 25 grams of sugar per day. After eight weeks, there were no significant differences in weight loss or BMI. In fact, the high-sugar group lost about 1-1/2 pounds more, but this effect was statistically insignificant.
Here is another one with a big six-month study on more than 300 people, in which subjects demonstrated no differences in weight loss or body composition with a diet higher in sugar versus a diet lower in sugar—when calories, protein, and fiber were the same.
I mean that grains are glucose-dominant. Glucose is the primary nutrient we get from grain products in the US.
Why do you specify US?

Because grain products in the US are typically lacking in as much fiber as can be found in some grain products in other countries.
I have no doubt that if I'd not specified "US," somebody on these webz would have countered with, "Uh-uuuugh! Salimani flatbread from Djbuti is 80% fiber!"
You really sounding like someone who works for the sugar industry and must defend it at all costs.
Strawman fallacy. Nowhere did I say that sugar is good, nor am I saying you can eat all the sugar you want. Problem is too many people look at single nutrients in a silo and brand them as being bad or good. Avoiding certain foods for no good reason can cause food anxiety or lead to eating disorders. Metabolic risks arise mainly from overconsumption of calories not single nutrients.
Now if you showed me some data saying that ALL sugar is bad no matter what then I would change my mind, but alas that data does not exist.

Our bodies break carbs into glucose tho it makes a super big difference if they are whole grain & sprouted...complex carbs...or simple grains. So..100% whole wheat bread will have less net carbs & more fiber & nutrients than processed grain like white bread.

Now you are saying grain products. Before you were saying grains.
