In my last post, I pointed out just how much sugar is in some of the most popular foods and drinks we consume. A can of Coke has over one ounce of sugar in it, some Starbucks drinks have over two ounces of sugar in them.
You already know that there are roughly 28 grams in an ounce but what the fuck does an ounce look like, you ask? We'll I'll show you... Keep in mind that these photos are of ONE ounce, your 12 ounce can of soda has more, your capa-frapa-chino likely has more than two ounces. And these are just beverages! Remember that HFCS (sugar) is in close to 90% of all foods you buy in the supermarket!
This is what an ounce looks like:
This is one ounce of wasabi rice crackers
This is a one ounce jalapeño pepper
One ounce of butter
One ounce of raw almonds
One ounce of dark chocolate
One ounce of natural sea salt, complete with sand
One ounce of Kosher salt... no sand
ONE OUNCE OF SUGAR!
One ounce of chicken breast (post cooking weight)
One ounce of... I have no fucking idea! Lisa and I measured all of this stuff out a few days ago and for the life of me, I can't recall what the fuck this is!... But it is just one ounce.
One ounce of coins (a half dollar and a quarter)
One ounce of Russian 7.62 X 39 ammo
One ounce of cocaine flour
One ounce of DVD's
One ounce of cyphering sticks
A one ounce, total weight of a 3/4 empty bottle of Lidocane
Imagine swallowing one, two or three of these items, That is how much sugar you are consuming when you drink a soda or an energy drink or any one of the thousands of commercially available bottled drinks.
If you do nothing else, try to cut your sugar consumption down. Be aware that it is in most of the foods for sale in your local supermarket, read the labels.
Don't consume any "diet" sweeteners. They are worse than natural sugar. They have no nutritional value, they tax the Hell out of your liver, not to mention that they have been proven to fail to trip your "I'm full" sensors. So you might actually gain weight eating/drinking this shit.
READ THE FUCKING LABELS!
Corn syrup can show up in numerous ways, look for these:
Cellulose, Xylitol, Calcium Stearate, Ethyl Lactate, maltodextrin, saccharin, xanathan gum, sucrose, gluten, sorbital, ethel acetate, high fructose corn syrup, citrus cloud emulsion, citric acid, ascorbic acid, di-glycerides, baking powder, fructose, sorbic acid, vanilla extract and starch.
All of these compounds can be made from corn, and are basically sugar.

(you know the one ounce jalapeño pepper in the above photo?.. I ate it)
On that note, I'm heading to bed. Thanks for reading!
