Now if the producer of the milk is adding sugar to it then you could count that sugar but you would have to figure out how much was added and how much was naturally in the milk.

I know the smoothie I make in the mornings has a bunch of natural sugars. I make it with milk, OJ, strawberries, bananas, pineapple and blueberries so it has a high sugar content. That's what made me research the 40g number I kept finding all over the place. And I don't think anyone would say that an all natural smoothie is unhealthy :) Thanks for commenting!

I had just come to the same conclusions as you did when I ran across your blog post. It was nice to get a confirmation of my thinking. I was trying to figure this out because I've been tracking my food intake at MyFitnessPal.com (I'm not affiliated with this site, but it's a great, free way to track your food and exercise) and it told me that I was consuming way too much sugar. But they're using 40 g/day for men as the total sugar to consume, not the added sugar. Your blog comes up as a top hit for “rda for sugar”.
