Children’s sugar consumption around the globe The World Health Organization recommends a daily intake of roughly 50 grams of sugar for someone of normal weight. For children between the ages of 4 and 6 years old, that number drops to no more than 19 grams of sugar daily. Pennsylvania State University researchers found that the more added sugar children had in their diets—like a single can of soda that contains a whopping 39 grams of sugar—the less likely they were to eat the foods that contain healthy sugars such as grains, vegetables and fruits. Essentially putting them into a state of malnutrition, with kids eating to many calories, but not enough nutrients.
