Sweet Tooth

So Halloween is fast approaching and that means lots of candy and lots of sugar!!! One myth about sugar is that it will make you gain weight. Eating sugar won't necessarily make you gain weight but it is a source of empty calories. Sugary foods (such as candy) make people hungrier and crave high calorie foods, which cause weight gain.

Also, sometimes it's hard to figure out how much sugar is in different foods, and it's often difficult to try and imagine a gram so to find out the exact amount of sugar in something, divide the grams of sugar by 4; that will tell you how many teaspoons there are in the food. This will give you a better visual of the amounts of sugar that are in foods. Happy Halloween!
