Sugar!

Have you ever looked at the sugar content on a nutrition label and couldnt visualize what 36 grams of sugar really is?

Me too.

I used to see something like 36 grams and imgine 36 spoonfulls, but I wasn't sure really, so it never really affected me.

Now I found a visual and I'm going to try to commit it to memory.

I know what a teaspoon looks like and a tablespoon. If you do too, you willfind this helpful:
* 4g= 1 tsp.
* 12g= 1 Tbl.

So, now if something says 36grams, I just imagine spoonfeeding myselg 3 tablespoons of sugar.

Hope that helps! Now, step away from the sugary sports drink!
