Total = soda*39g + sweets*25g + other; Teaspoons = total/4; % = total/50*100; Calories = total*4

How does this work?

12oz soda ~39g added sugar, typical dessert ~25g, plus other foods. Total grams divided by 4 is teaspoons, 50g is WHO 10% of 2000 kcal limit.

This counts added sugar estimate, not natural fruit sugar. Check labels for added vs total.

For YMYL health, added sugar over 10% links to weight and metabolic risks. WHO suggests ideally <5% (25g) for extra benefit.
