What’s so shocking about sugar?• Sugar adds an average of 16% of the calories in the

Standard American diet (Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010)

Based on a 1,800- to 2,600-calorie diet, this equals 18 to 26 teaspoons of extra sugar a day

These extra calories from sugar may lead to:• Weight gain• Type 2 diabetes• Impaired immune system• Chronic diseases such as cancer & heart

disease8

Teen boys drink 3+ cans per day Teen girls drink 2+ cans per day If you drink 3 cans per day for a

year, you put 1000 cans in the recycle bin

That’s enough to fill 2 bathtubs!

Liquid vs. Food Calories

A 32 oz. cola has 400 calories

That’s the same amount of calories as: 2 bagels 1 1/2 c macaroni & cheese 1 taco & 1 enchilada 1 roast beef sandwich 3 bowls of cereal & milk 7 pancakes 5 c chicken noodle soup 2 brownies


What does it take to burn 400 calories?

Running a 9-minute (6.7 MPH) mile for 35 minutes

Circuit training or boot camp for 40 minutes

Zumba class for 45 minutes

If you don’t burn those 400 calories, you could gain 41.7 pounds in a year!
