Sugar is sweet indeed, but
what if we consume mountains of it? Guess what? Many of us do, perhaps without
realizing it.
Look at these totals (from
Live Science), showing sugar equivalents of several popular sweets and
drinks.

Wow.
So a 100-gram Butterfinger
candy bar contains the equivalent of seven teaspoonfuls of sugar? And a 20-ounce
Gatorade, often passed out to refresh endurance athletes, has more than five
tablespoons of sugar? And a 16-ounce Starbucks vanilla latte totals the same as
six sugary spoonfuls?
Oh, honey.
There’s no way to sweeten
this pill. Maybe a spoonful of sugar won’t help that medicine go down, after
all.
