How to calculate sugar consumption
Most health organisations recommend that people limit themselves to 10tsp (40g) of added sugar a day, but many researchers say it should be 6tsp for woman and 8tsp for men. Teaspoons are easier to visualise than grams, so remember this easy equation: to get the number of teaspoons, divide the number of grams by 4. So, a regular Snickers bar contains 30g or about 7tsp of sugar, a 330ml can of Coke has 35g or 9tsp of sugar. We shouldn't eat or drink manufactured sugar bombs full stop. Any food with sugar in the first three ingredients is a bad idea. Avoid foods with more than 10g sugar per portion.
