How much sugar a day is good for health?

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends consuming less than 10% of total daily energy intake from free sugars (less than 5% is better if possible). For someone on a 2,000-calorie diet, that means less than 50 grams of sugar per day (25 grams is ideal).
