Question

Which statement correctly describes the DGAs' numeric limits for added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium for a general adult population?

Accepted Answer

Keep added sugars and saturated fat each to less than 10% of total calories, and keep sodium under 2,300 milligrams per day.

Answer

DGAs require zero added sugars, zero saturated fat, and no specific sodium recommendation; only calories matter.

Answer

Allow added sugars up to 20% of calories, saturated fat up to 15% of calories, and sodium up to 3,500 mg/day for healthy adults.

Answer

Added sugars and saturated fat have no percentage limits but sodium should always be below 500 mg/day according to DGAs.
