Along with causing with weight gain and cavities, sugar has been linked to heart disease and early death. The World Health Organization is now recommending that we limit our added sugar intake to between 6 and 12 teaspoons a day. We'll talk about the new recommendations and ways in which you can limit your sugar intake. We'll also look at Brain Awareness Week, which is next Wednesday through Friday. To cap off the hour, we'll take another look at the disputed health effects of wine.
