Read the contents of any premade / processed food or drinks before you buy. Check out the sugar content by looking at the “carbohydrates of which sugar equals” section on the label you may be surprised! Particular products to look at are drinks e.g. orange juice 100-118gsugar/litre (25-32 heaped teaspoons of sugar), cranberry juice which may contain 29-32 tea spoons of sugar per litre, and modified / flavoured waters which may contain 20+tea spoons of sugar per litre. In the last number of years dental erosion caused either by excess consumption of acidic soft drinks or fruit juice has become a major problem. If you really can’t beat the craving then minimise the frequency of intake, drink it straight down (don’t swish it around like a mouthwash) and don’t brush your teeth for at least 30minutes after you have consumed it. Better still, drink non carbonated water.
