You don't seriously mean you didn't know about the sugar content in fizzy drinks? I can't remember a time I didn't know this so must be back in the late sixties or so. Everybody must know this or they've spent the last half century dumb and blindfolded.

I was a real sugary fizzy drink addict before diagnosis. Probably contributed to my diabetes.

Yes but i think the point with this display is that knowing a can of coke has 35g of sugar in it and actually seeing what 35g of sugar looks like are completely different things to most people.

And some people may not understand that a teaspoon of sugar is 5 grams ...think it is a helpful tool ...

It is, to me, still a shocker :eek: and it probably was for others to read as well.:wideyed: I suppose my child was just thinking of me, with diabetes and knows I am a member on a diabetes forum. So my answer to your last sentence is, I am certainly not dumb or blindfolded and if ALL knew about the content, it probably wouldn't be circulating around.

Agreed. As I indicated above, the 'shock value' for me is in actually seeing what 35 to 40g of sugar looks like. I't might change many peoples approach if they could see this. Just knowing that your drink has 35g of sugar in it probably doesn't really mean much to most folk. A useful post, thanks again.

I rarely drank soft drink but when I did, loved sarsparilla ...a LOT !!!

I shudder to think what a glass of that would do to me now. Don't miss it really .... sniff :(

Just kidding :)
