Q. How much sugar is in a sugar cube?

Answer

The American Heart Association suggests that most adult women limit their daily calorie consumption to 100 (equivalent to 6 teaspoons or 24 grams of sugar), while the average adult man should consume no more than 150 calories per day (around 9 teaspoons or 36 grams of sugar). One sugar cube has 16 calorie and 4 g of sugar. Free sugars in the diet of adults should amount to no more than 30 grams per day (roughly equivalent to 7 sugar cubes). There should be no and over 24 grams of added sugars per day for kids between the ages of 7 and 10. (6 sugar cubes). There should be no more than 19 grams of added sugars per day for children ages 4 to 6. (5 sugar cubes).
