January - Sugar, Sugar, Everywhere!

Did you know that one of the most addictive things is SUGAR!  You probably already know this if you have ever tried to stop eating sugar for a day or two.  It is pretty tough.  We have some great suggestions on our home page on how to do it in small steps.  The contest for this month is to figure out how many grams of sugar are in some of the foods that many of us have in our homes.  The poster at the school has all of those foods shown with the sugar cubes next to it.  Each cube is worth 4 grams of sugar.  On a paper write out the answers to how many grams of sugar are in the following foods and turn it into the Healthy Hawthorn Box (underneath the volunteer check-in computer) and earn yourself a snowflake charm.  All entries are due by January 31st. (We have done the first one for you)  Good Luck!

1.     2 PopTarts has 9 sugar cubes (each cube is 4 grams), so 9 x 4 = 36 grams

2.     1 bowl of Trix cereal has 3 sugar cubes   ........?

3.      1 bag of Skittles has 12 sugar cubes  ..............?

4.      1 King size Snickers candy bar has 14 sugar cubes ..............?

5.      1 pint of Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream has 21 sugar cubes .............?

6.      20 oz. bottle of Mountain Dew has 20 sugar cubes ...................?

Good Luck!
