This past Wednesday, Ruby had her first dentist appointment. She did great and the dentist said that her brushing habits are wonderful. Good job Ruby! She got to pick a couple prizes and get a new toothbrush and toothpaste. When we got home we were looking through her goodie bag and there was a little slip of paper with some very interesting information that I thought I would pass on to you all.
Do you know how much sugar the food you are eating has in it? Here are a few that might surprise you!!
Colas (20 oz.) 16.0 teaspoons
Mountain Dew (20 oz.) 18.5 teaspoons
Chocolate milk (8 oz.) 10.0 teaspoons
Kool-aid (8 oz.) 10.0 teaspoons
Raisins (4-6 raisins) 5.0 teaspoons
Gummy Bears (8-10 pc) 12.0 teaspoons

So if you have noticed my ticker on my blog I have given up all pop. Well it has paid off in more ways than one. You see I have lost 10 pounds in the last 1-2 months and I wasn't even trying. It is the pop! I was drinking at least one large coke from Burger King everyday and then maybe a couple cans of coke at home during the day. I didn't realize how may empty calories that was adding to my day.
It is also saving me money because large cokes are $1.75 and that adds up fast when it is spent daily.
However the downside is I bought a pair of new jeans 2 months ago and now I am trying despertly to shrink them because I really like them. LOL!
Smiles!
That's alot of sugar. I don't drink pop often but I still refuse to give up my dew on Tuesdays!!
I thought of you when I was reading this info, because i did see the ticker on your blog!!! 10 lbs!!! That is awesome!
Good job Ruby!!!! I'm surprised at how much sugar those things have!
Yeah Ruby! I am amazed by those sugar amounts. I only drink diet coke, so no sugar but still not to great for me.
Thank you, Lord that Diet Coke has NO SUGAR!!!
Also since I Have given up most of the sugar in my diet I have had no cavaties and my dentist says my teeth have never looked better.
