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”.

I have found a new place where you can make your feeling known though. Follow the link below. There is A legal petition (Docket # FDA-2011-P-0723-0001/CP) currently going to the FDA. I'll also change the link above to go there. http://justlabelit.org/ Hi Victor, the petition I original listed was from back in 2010.

Harp, M.A. Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:32:53 +0000 http://blog.calorie-help.com/?p=743#comment-1887 Hi, Rick. Thanks for the great post. I wanted to ask if you'd post about a study I'm doing. While it's hard losing weight on your own, it's not necessarily easier with a spouse or partner. Sometimes partners/spouses undermine weight loss through acts like complaining about healthier food, gifting high-caloric foods, or even through abusive language/acts. I'm creating an anonymous, online survey to assess for partner undermining and to learn more from those who experience it. To be eligible to take the survey, participants need to have experienced this in their current relationship (of at least the past 2 years), and have been participating in a weight loss program for the past 5 consecutive weeks.
