Shocking Sugar Content in Common Foods



How much sugar are we really eating every day?

High-Fructose corn syrup and refined sugar are considered by many experts to be the biggest contributors to obesity and poor health.
I complied a list for fun and I looked up the sugar content of a few common foods.
I hope your as shocked as I am..


1. Luna Bar Berry Almond 11g
2.Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnut 10g
3.Subway 6-inch Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich 17g
4. Godiva Chocolate Truffles 9two) 17g
5. Ben&Jerry's Vanilla Ice Cream (3 oz) 16g
6. Ms. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookie (45 grams ) 19g
7. Froot Loops Breakfast Cereal (3/4 cup) 12g
8. Tropicana 100% Orange Juice (8 oz) 25g
9. Craisins Dried Cranberries (1/3 cup) 29g
10. Vitamin Water (20oz bottle) 33g
11. Oscar Mayer Lunchables (Turkey & Cheese) 36g
12. Coca-Cola Classic (12oz can) 39g
13. Sprinkles Red Velvet Cupcakes 45g
14. California Pizza Kitchen Thai Chicken Salad 45g
15. Jamba Juice Blackberry Bliss (16oz) 49g
16. Odwalla SuperFood Drink (450 ml bottle) 50g
17. Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino (16oz) 58g
18. Yoplait Original Yogurt (6oz) 27g

Foods we recognize as dessert such as doughnuts, ice cream and cookies often have far less sugar than things we consider "healthy" such as juice,yogurt and dried fruit. Next time you are going to buy something I challenge you to look at the label and see really how much sugar your eating. Maybe that why we can't loose weight??
