Nutrition labels should replace grams with “sugar cubes” [photo]
Would you eat 16 sugar cubes? Probably not. But that’s how much you’re consuming when you drink a bottle Coke. A label reads “39 grams of sugar” in your soda but what does that much sugar look like?
“We’ve used regular sugar cubes (4 grams of sugar each) to show how the sugars in your favorite foods literally stack up, gram for gram. Compare foods, find out where sugar is hiding, and see how much of the sweet stuff you’re really eating.“
You’ll find sugar content of foods in these categories:
- Beverages
- Breakfast foods
- Candy
- Cookies
- Deserts
- Fruits
- Sauces
- Shakes & Smoothies
- Snacks
- Vegetables
