A bowl of cereal and a can of pop and you're way over the budget. If you then add some processed food, you'll consume even more sugar.
Even seemingly harmless stuff like baked beans, pasta sauce, or toast contain quite a bit of sugar.
- kyriakos 10y ago25g is about 6 spoons (google says there's 4g per spoon). Kellog's Cornflakes have 8g sugar per 100g serving. A scoop of ice cream has around 15g. So if your child avoid regular soda's and milkshakes, drink natural juices instead of sweetened 25g seems quite decent.
- tomatsu 10y agoAs far as sugar goes, juice is the same as coke. Unlike fruits, juice lacks fiber. The sugar is absorbed instantly. > A scoop of ice cream has around 15g. The problem is that pretty much anything contains sugar. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2993513/Pasta-sauce-sugar-Mars-bar-soup-sweet-cider-reveal-white-stuff-lurking-favourite-foods.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2993513/Pasta-sauc... Cornflakes is the blandest kind of cereal and that one already contains a whopping 8g (32% of your budget). Add some toast, pasta sauce, some low fat yogurt, etc and you're way over those 25 grams of sugar. By the way, Cornflakes are actually worse than they seem. Simple carbs are almost instantly turned into sugar.
