SUGAR, SUGAR AND MORE SUGAR!

I was given an email from one of my clients which had the pictures below with their sugar content placed into a visual comparison. I am a very visual person and thought it would be great to share this information be it accurate or off a little, it still holds some truth.

If your a Yogurt fan and you buy Fat Free yogurt, your being dooped! Sure they take out the Fat, but they ADD sugar because fat was the flavor.
This sweetened yogurt is from the fake fruit inside. 6 1/2 cubes of sugar in 1 cup.
Yah lets put this in every magazine out there and say its the healthy choice!
Eat Plain prganic yogurt, or make your own


I know the kids and adults today love
their ketchup
(how the hell did they come up with this name?)
1 tablespoon of Ketchup has 1 cube of sugar!
Now how much do you put on your fries, hamburgers and eggs?
Keep adding up that sugar people!


Carrot comparison!
Yes Carrots have sugar, double the sugar when you cook them!

Oreo Cookies1 serving, 3 cookies (35g) Sugars, total: 14g
Equivalent amount of carrots: 298g Or approximately 10.5 oz.


My Favorite....and obviously Kelly Jo's (one of my clients who got caught in the act buying a Reese Butter Cup by one of my other clients; ah were all so close)
Surprisingly out of all the candy bars, this has the least sugar, but don't kid yourself it is still 20 GRAMS!
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups 2 pieces
(1 package/42g)
Sugars, total: 20g
Calories, total: 230
Calories from sugar: 80



Now the big bad Pop killer!
All you have to do is look!!!!
Diabetes & Obesity anyone?
