Statistics Canada estimated that the average Canadian ingests about 30 pounds of sugar each year from manufactured products. Young children are getting more than 25 % of their daily calories from sugar-more than any other age group.
It is surprising how many prepared products in supermarket might contain sugar-like:
1. breakfast cereal
2. granola bars
3. ketchup
4. pasta sauce
5. potato chips
6. salad dressing
If you can't resist a sugary treat, eat it with meal, rather than on its own. The higher saliva flow will neutralize the acid that develop when you have sugar.
