More Healthy Leaders

Sugar Math
Do you realize how much sugar you’re consuming? Try checking labels and learning Sugar Math! For example: A large soda may contain 70 grams of sugar. 70 grams divided by 4 equals 17.5 teaspoons of sugar! Yikes! That’s a lot of sugar in one soda.
Here’s another way to think about sugar…
One 20 OUNCE SODA can contain the same amount of sugar as 6 DONUTS or 18 COOKIES. It’s time to rethink your sugary drinks!
