Great breakdown of sugar!

What most people don’t realize is that all carbohydrates break down into glucose, which is sugar too. So the daily limit should really take this into account. If a person eats half a loaf of bread, a plate of rice, or a pile of mashed potatoes, they are WAY over the limit even without any added sugar.

Those guidelines only make sense if a person is eating a whole foods diet low in processed carbs and then adds the sugar on top of that.
