![]() How much sugar do you consume every day? The answer might be ... a lot! This page will show you just how much sugar is actually in a typical snack. The snack we're going to look at is a common one we've all enjoyed, a pop and a chocolate bar. We didn't make any special effort to choose brands; we just picked one of each from the front of the shelves. Here's what we chose:
There are other brands of pop that contain more sugar than regular Pepsi, but since this is one of the most popular drinks, it's a good choice for our demonstration. We bought a standard 355 ml bottle.The chocolate bar is a 'Mr. Big', also very popular. It's the normal size, weighing 60 grams. Here's the question: How much sugar is in this two-item snack? You probably don't have any idea ... we didn't either. But if you look at the labels, you can find out everything you need to know. |
