Processed Sugar, Do You Know How Much You Eat?

Posted by : skaweenon03 | 12.11.11 | Published in

Sugar on the nourishment labels of products is measured in Grams. Do you know how many grams of sugar are in a teaspoon? There are 4.2 grams of sugar per teaspoon. Do you know how many teaspoons of sugar are in a cup? There are 47.9860695 teaspoons of sugar in a cup or practically 200 Grams. And there are 453.6 Grams of Sugar per Pound. To get a sense of how much process sugared is contained in our every day products, I went to a grocery store one afternoon with my spreadsheets I created. My spreadsheets track a product's brand name, the stock type, serving size, calories per serving, sugar content, sugar position on the label, fat content, protein content, salt content, price per container. Some of the foods I looked at were children's cereals, yogurt, ice cream, ketchup, cookies, crackers, soda, spaghetti sauce and baby food. I prime a large grocery store and shopped as I collected my data so no one would question what I was doing. I didn't want to account for how I am hooked on this processed sugar law I have believing processed sugar causes a great majority of our health issues. I looked at three different brands or more of similar products so I won't be accused of being biased.
