I know there has been some debate about this... and I've been trying to figure out a way to set firm guidelines - but it is so hard because there is sugar in almost everything we eat (sad, but true). So however you have interpreted the rule - this is the new rule so please adhere to it. No desserts, candy, jam, syrup, etc. However, you need to start reading labels. If there is "sugar" (HFC, evaporated cane juice, corn syrup, etc) in the first 2 ingred. of the product then it is considered a sugar food and you are only allowed 6 grams/6 tsp. per day - this includes artifical and natural sweeteners. Debatably there are natural sugars that are better for you - but we still shouldn't be eating them in large quantities - this rule will help to curb that.
On your "free sugar" day you can eat as much as you want. But I warn you that if you go without sugar for a while and then try and eat a bunch all in one day you'll make yourself sick - I know from experience - haha. The exceptions are ketchup and salad dressing (and of course unprocessed fruit). Let me know if this makes sense or if you have any more questions. Thanks, Becky
