Daily guidelines baffle me

Ok so for women the daily sugar intake should be 25g of sugar. For men it's 36g.

Now here's the dumb part. We need at least 5 to 13 servings of fruit daily. However if you eat all of those fruits you'll greatly exceed the sugar limit. Wtf?

Re: Daily guidelines baffle me

they're just suggestions. you don't have to follow them precisely by the number, it's just a recommendation

I tend to avoid counting them by "servings". I'm not dumping a bunch of assorted fruit into 1 cup before I eat them, I just go by 1 banana, or a bowl of blueberries

if you follow these 3, health won't be much of an issue (besides cancer):
-eat leafy greens
-drink water
-exercise
