This is, of course, common sense, but according to the American Heart Association, it's time for Americans to cut the amount of sugar they consume each day.

The average woman should limit their sugar intake to just 6 teaspoons a day and the average man should limit sugar to 9 teaspoons per day. The biggest culprit is soft drinks. Watch what your kids are eating. Sugar consumption will cause you to gain weight, be more stressed, and affect your immune function.
