Sneaky Sugar Tearpad — a full-color, double-sided handout that shows your audience exactly where added sugar hides. Each tearpad has 50 sheets, full color on both sides, so you always have a takeaway ready for clients, classes, health fairs, and exam rooms.
Page 1 — Sneaky Sugar in Drinks: the biggest source of added sugar. Real teaspoon counts for soda & sweet tea, juice & lemonade, sports & energy drinks, coffee-shop drinks, milk & smoothies, and "better-for-you" bottled drinks.
Page 2 — Sneaky Sugar in Foods: where added sugar hides on the plate — breakfast cereals & oatmeal, yogurt & dairy, sauces & dressings, bars & snacks, breads & spreads, and sweet treats.
Also included:
- The daily added-sugar limits at a glance — 6 tsp (women & kids), 9 tsp (men), vs. the average American's 17 tsp a day
- The easy conversion: 1 tsp of sugar = 4 g — read the label's Added Sugars line and divide by 4
- Practical "know your sugar" tips: natural vs. added sugar, and why sugary drinks are the #1 source
Details: 8.5" x 11", full color, double-sided, 50 tear-off sheets per pad. Great for dietitian offices, clinics, WIC, worksite wellness, schools, and health fairs. For general education only — not a substitute for medical advice.
