We were amazed and surprised at some of the quantities of sugar found in the food that we eat nearly every day. Snack biscuits, although they are generally salty, still had a small amount of sugar in, 1/8 of a teaspoon.
We found that jelly, which is generally a treat, has four servings per pack, but contains nearly five teaspoons of sugar per serving. In total, one packet of jelly was nearly 20 teaspoons of sugar. This, as a class, we found really astounding.
Yoghurt is a regular in school lunches and it can contain nearly 2 1/2 teaspoons of sugar. This surprised a lot of class members.
We based our findings on the ratio of 1 teaspoon of sugar = 4 grams. (It is actually 4.2 grams).
SUGAR!!! yes please, no not really too much sugar.
