How many teaspoons of sugar do you think is in a typical 20 ounce bottle of soda? Answer: 17 teaspoons of sugar – or more.

Reading a Nutrition Facts Label What is the serving size listed in the Nutrition Facts label? Answer: 20 fluid ounces. How many servings per container are listed in this Nutrition Facts label? Answer: One serving.

Reading a Nutrition Facts Label How much sugar is listed? Answer: 68 grams of sugar. How many teaspoons is that?

Calculating Teaspoons Grams of sugar ÷ 4 = teaspoons of sugar 68 grams of sugar ÷ 4 = 17 teaspoons of sugar Note that this is per serving.

How much is in the whole container? Teaspoons of sugar per serving x Servings in container = Teaspoons of sugar in container For example: 17 teaspoons of sugar x 2 servings in container =34 teaspoons of sugar in the container.

Use it for all foods and drinks! These same calculations work on food. You can do this with any Nutrition Facts label.

Reading the Ingredients List Sugar comes in many forms and has many names. Though not listed separately on the Nutrition Facts label, many drinks contain two types of sugar: naturally occurring sugar and added sugar.

Naturally Occurring Sugar Naturally occurring sugars are found naturally in fruits and milk. These sugars are part of the overall healthy package of nutrients that these foods provide.

Naturally Occurring Sugars Fructose Lactose Maltose Glucose (aka dextrose) Sucrose

Added Sugar Added sugars add calories but no nutrients. Added sugars are found mainly in processed foods and drinks.

Names of Added Sugar Invert sugar Corn syrup High fructose corn syrup Malt syrup Maple syrup Brown sugar Raw sugar Honey Maltodextrin Molasses

One way to know if there is sugar (added, natural, or both) is to read the Ingredients List on the label. Tip: If a type of sugar is in the first three ingredients, the product is likely to have a lot of added sugars.

Label Reading Activity In pairs or small groups, please fill in the How Much Sugar? worksheet. When completed, one participant from each group will come to the front: Share the information on worksheet; Measure out the number of teaspoons of sugar into the baggies/cups.

Was anyone surprised by the amount of sugar in any of the beverages? Did it seem like there was a lot of sugar in some of the beverages? Would you eat that amount of sugar or put that much into your coffee each day?

What can I drink instead of a sugary drink? Try these… Water – Plain or flavored with added fruit, vegetables and herbs, like we have available today Unsweetened seltzer water or unflavored sparkling water Unsweetened tea (iced or hot) Unsweetened coffee (iced or hot) Fat-free or low-fat (1%) unflavored milk
