• The World Health Organisation recommends our free (added) sugar consumption should only make up 10% of our total daily energy intake, which equates to approximately 50g or 12 teaspoons a day
• The Australian Health Survey found that in 2011-2012, Australians were consuming an average of 105 grams of total sugars per day, with just over half of this being free sugars (60g each day, or the equivalent of 14 teaspoons of white sugar), with the balance (45 grams) being the naturally occurring sugars
