How Much Sugar Can You Safely Add to Tea and Coffee: Scientists Answer
There is a myth that you can’t add sugar to tea and coffee, otherwise it will lead to serious health problems, and in extreme cases – to premature death.
Dutch experts have proven that this is not the case.
Data from 32 years of observation of several thousand patients with different habits were analyzed.
As a result, it became known that adding sugar in reasonable limits does not pose a danger.
But, as scientists noted, the additional product will not cause harm if it is in limited quantities.
The permissible limit is up to 5 grams.
If the amount of bulk component is increased, there is a risk of problems arising.
They reminded that the soda that many people love contains about 25 grams of sugar, and this has an extremely negative effect on the body.
The authors' corresponding findings were published in PLOS One .
