Krispy kreme glazed donut has 10 grams of sugar and is low in sodium and surprisingly low in cholesterol.

Recommended daily sugar intake 50g.

There's a pretty big difference between the natural sugars in OJ and the refined sugar in a doughnut and its not surprising that its low in cholesterol it just means its not fried in animal fat. They are fried in palm oil

I believe there is a BIG difference between the natural sugars you find in fruit (and possibly yoghurt) and the processed sugar used in such things as donuts.
Don't know for certain, but I suspect this comparison is actually misleading.

There was an article a couple weeks back, the WHO has adjusted the daily recommended sugar intake to 5% of your calories. It was 10% previous.
