A Candilicious Temptation

Everyone loves candies, and no one refuses when it is offered. This small sweet treat is the weakness of every child, and they love all sorts of crunchy, soft, or gummy candies. As children need so much energy to play outdoors, the ad advocates the need for energy through the sugar of the candy.

Sugars are a form of carbohydrates, and like all carbohydrates, they are a source of energy in our daily food intake. According to the American Heart Association, males should consume no more than 36 grams of added sugar, which provides 150 calories; for women, the recommended quantity is 25 grams, which gives 100 calories.
