Any idea how much sugar you consume per day?

It is the hardest thing in the world saying 'NO' to delicious food. And I bet most of us would hardly care about the sugar volume in our food. Here are a guideline of sugar consumption in our daily meal. 

Cereal for breakfast. Very little sugar, eat more.


Sweet corn has minimal sugar


Same to strawberry


Banana is still acceptable


An apple a day, keeps the doctor away


Ketchup goes best with french fries? Ops, did I just mentioned french fries? Ignore that 


1 piece of oreo = 1 cube of sugar


Why must chocolate has so much sugar! 


Expensive coffee ruin your health


As we all know...Coke is never a healthy drink


Not so much of ice cream kids 


This is crazy 

Obviously we can't avoid taking any sugar because it helps to generate energy to our body. However, too much of sugar can harm our body too. For instance


Sugar can suppress the immune system 


Sugar can contribute to hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, concentration difficulties and crankiness


Sugar contributes to a weakened defense against bacterial infection


Sugar cause kidney damage


Sugar can increase the rick of coronary heart disease


Sugar can promote tooth decay


Sugar can speed the aging process, causing wrinkles and grey hair


Sugar can contribute to weight gain and obesity


Sugar cause food allergies 


Sugar can cause toxemia during pregnancy 


Sugar can cause headached, including migraines 


Sugar can cause hypertention

Sugar can cause many more bad effects. Eat healthier, stay happier, live longer.
