If you are like many Americans that are keeping, among others, Starbucks, soda and so-called juice companies in business and in a big way, then you are taking in way too much sugar.
Did you know that there is over 100 grams of sugar in the Starbucks' vente Frapuccino drinks? Most cans of soda have 40 grams of sugar, and that's just the can size!
Remember this, one packet of sugar is one teaspoon of sugar and that one teaspoon is just 4 grams of sugar. So a can of Coke is like eating 10 packets of sugar----SICK!!!

Good question Sierra, I havent had any either.......
If I use sweetener, I buy fructose from the health food store.
You are correct, no one should use processed white sugar.
Also, Splenda is toxic to people and they dont even realize it. They put Splenda in the fruit flavored water drinks now too, it is horrible. Everyone needs to look up online about Splenda and the toxins in it. That goes for all man made sweeteners.
Great question, hopefully people take the advice! :)

Least sugar gets best answer? lol!!! Seriously , you are absolutely right, I'm sure most people don't think about how much sugar is in common items such as soda! I am usually pretty good but tonight i broke down on the way home and had a Dunkin Donut's chocolate frosted donut and half of a french cruller" (I felt good about not eating the WHOLE cruller!!)

Not so much, I think. I did have 3 or 4 curiously strong wintergreen mints. I try to get most of my sugar from bananas, oranges, apples and other fruit. I prefer unsweetened tea to sodas, and I flavor stuff like breakfast cereal with raisins and nuts. My big weakness is chocolate, but I do prefer the dark, less sweet stuff.

I ate some jelly beans, but normally I limit my sugar intake. I have a feeling the people who don't eat a lot of sugar are going to be more willing to speak up! I rarely drink sodas or juice or sugared up iced tea for that reason....

You are right. Americans are consuming way too much sugar these days. Is it no wonder that Diabetes is running rampant?
I suggest if you aren't going to curtail the amount of sugar that you consume at least make sure it is digested properly. The best way to do that is with a high quality digestive enzyme....
