About

Sugar Counter

Read full description

Sugar Counter A simple app for tracking your daily refined sugar intake in grams. All local. No cloud. No ads. Free. Made for anyone with a modern iOS device. Created by an MD/PhD focused on vascular health. Track refined and added sugars from packaging quickly—without fumbling with barcode scanners. Fast data entry with clear visuals serves as a daily reminder to reduce refined sugar intake. The Science: Why Sugar Matters The modern diet is saturated with "hidden" sugars—specifically high-fructose corn syrup and sucrose—that bypass normal satiety signals and place an immense metabolic load on the liver. Unlike glucose, which can be used by every cell in the body, fructose is primarily processed in the liver, where high doses can trigger lipogenesis (fat production), insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. Research highlights the urgency: Metabolic Syndrome: Excessive refined sugar intake is a primary driver of metabolic syndrome, independent of total caloric intake (Lustig et al., 2012, Nature). Cardiovascular Risk: High-sugar diets are significantly associated with increased cardiovascular disease mortality (Yang et al., 2014, JAMA Internal Medicine). The 5% Rule: The WHO strongly recommends reducing free sugar intake to less than 10%—and ideally 5%—of total energy intake to prevent non-communicable diseases. Sugar Counter helps you stay within these evidence-based limits - simple fast app, all local data, simple CSV export.
