[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is forcing people to consume sugar. [/quote]

No, but you have to be awfully vigilant to avoid it.[/quote]

No you don’t. All you have to do is turn the product over and read a label.

When eating premade food, like take out/restaurant/bakery assume the worst with regards to added sugar and you will be correct. [/quote]

And it’s easy math. 4 grams of sugar is 1 teaspoon. For example, 1 teaspoon of ketchup has four grams of sugar, which equals 1 teaspoon of sugar. I’m guessing the average ketchup user on fries and a cheeseburger is probably consuming 4 teaspoons of ketchup (likely a lot more), so 4 teaspoons of sugar.

I think visualizing actual teaspoons of sugar is the most impactful approach.

Yeah I don't understand how it's hard at all. You only need to do 3 things:

- make your own meals 
OR
- read the ingredients of the prepared and processed food you buy
OR
- don't eat out so often

You don't have to be super vigilant. Just put in a small amount of effort.
