Travels with Headcase

I got this from a friend of mine who is getting tested for DM-type 2 right now: all pictures are visual representations of how many teaspoons of sugar are in single  serving sizes of various foods from the blog,  sugarstacks.com .

Very self explanatory – I know there’s a difference between sucrose and fructose, etc. but just look at the pictures.

To quote a recent posting from the SugarStacks Team:

“So the good folks at the Florida Department of Citrus want their voice heard, and who are we not to oblige? Just for the record, orange juice probably is, as they say, more healthful than apple juice or grape juice.

What worries us, and the point we’re trying to make, is that when people drink orange juice like it is water, they are ingesting too much sugar. Fruit juice may have its place, but many children (and many adults) drink WAY too much juice when they should be drinking water instead.”
