Sugar on the nutritional information of products is measured in grams. You know how many grams is a teaspoon of sugar? There are 4.2 grams of sugar per teaspoon. You know how many teaspoons of sugar in a cup? There are 47.9860695 teaspoon sugar in a cup or about 200 grams and there are 453.6 grams of sugar per kilo. To get an idea of how much sugar, process water is included in our everyday products, I went to a grocery store one afternoon with my tables Icreated. My tables trace of a product brand, product type, serving, calories per serving, sugar content, the position on the label of sugar, fat, protein, salt content, the price for container. Some of the foods that I have watched children's cereal, yogurt, ice cream, ketchup, cookies, crackers, soda, spaghetti sauce and baby food. I chose a large supermarket and bought, as I collected my data so that no one would ask what I did. I did not know how to explain'M dependent on processed sugar in my opinion this theory that sugar causes have produced the vast majority of our health. I watched three or more different brands of similar products so I will not accuse of bias.
I read an article that we eat our weight in sugar each year, more than 20 pounds, and after a few decades ago, our consumption of sugar was only 20 pounds a year specified. This could be true? I started the math. The randomly selected 150 lbs. W £ 150 times453.6 grams of 365 days a year is equal to 186.41 grams of sugar per day, divided. And 'possible to eat so much sugar in one day? Here's what I found:
1 Cereals for children, on average, equal to 12 grams of sugar with an approximate size piece of ¾ cup of cereal brands and types, 'Golden Crisp, Apple Jacks Kellogg, General Mills' Lucky Charms post.
2 Raisin Bran has 19 grams of sugar, 1 cup serving.
3 Soda had 40 grams of sugar can, 12 grams, soda brands Pepsi, Coca Cola,RC.
4 Kellogg's Pop-Tarts have 16 grams of sugar for a piece of dough.
5 Without fat plain yogurt with 15 grams of sugar per cup of yogurt were served brands and types of High Mountain Plain fat-free, original Horizon Organic / non-fat and fat-free plain Greek gods
6 strawberry yogurt has about 28 grams of sugar, makes and models were presented Danon Blended Strawberry, Strawberry Yoplait Original 99% fat free style, greek VOSKOS Strawberry, 6 oz portionfor a cup.

Chocolate ice cream has 12 grams of sugar 20.67. Breyer was 16 grams, 27 grams had Haggan Daz and Ben & Jerry was 19 grams, all chocolate.
13 Surprisingly, baby food had natural sugarderived from fruits or vegetables are included in the products. Any product with other additives seemed that I could not be occupied with the exception of a brand that really stood out for me to express. I looked Gerber, Beech Nut and the Earth better. Earth could be better really the best? It stands as a leader for me, it definitely was. Contains only fruits, vegetables, meat or rice. He had no other ingredients added and was the only kosher baby foodcertificates.
14 Toothpaste contains saccharin, artificial sweeteners, processed. Trademarks tried Crest, Colgate and Aquafresh.
Now you see all these different foods, I got some products that seem logical and those that I could consume in a day and do some calculations. Remember, 186 grams of sugar per day, equivalent to 150 pounds a year.
A typical day of sugar
SUGAR
Bowl of cereal 2 cups (they eat only a cup) 24 grams
2 Cokes 78 grams
2 teaspoons sugarin a cup of coffee 2 cups X 8 grams
3 x 2 biscuits (they are again, once you start, you have more than) 22 grams
Yoplait yogurt 1 99% Fat Free Strawberry
(You thought it was healthy), 27 grams
Frosted Strawberry Pop Tart 1 21 grams
Grams of total sugars in a day 180 grams
Grams of total sugars per year
180 grams x 365 days per year = 65 700 grams
To convert grams to ounces
2,317.50 oz = 65 700 X.035273962
Converting ounces toPounds
2,317.50 ÷ 16 ounces a pound per year = £ 144.84
It 'almost £ 150 mark which is the addition of a chocolate bar or ice cream. Sugar is causing our health? It seems certain, as it could be a direct correlation with the increase in diabetes and other diseases. A final point to move from another article I read that was written by someone in the UK I found no mention information shocking and frightening, but perhaps it is true. They explained that thechemical formula for sugar and cocaine are nearly identical, with the exception of a nitrogen atom. Sugar is a drug? If someone has a pharmacy, please let me know if this is true. THANK YOU.
