Presentation summary:

Eat Better South Africa's highly effective sugar demonstration allows people to understand the concept of hidden sugars and how they are unwittingly consuming excessive amounts of sugar in seemingly "healthy" meals.

In this presentation, Jana does a practical example, demonstrating how much sugar is contained in some everyday products. She starts by discussing the total amount of sugar required by the body and how carbohydrates are converted and measured as sugar in this demonstration.

She then goes on to discuss the average breakfast, lunch, and supper a person consumes in one day and shows the amounts of hidden sugars contained in these foods.

The results are astounding and clearly demonstrate how and why metabolic disease has become prevalent globally.
