Veganlass sent me this in the form of an email, but there are too many individual pictures to copy here, so have a look at the website - shows the sugar in lots of popular foodstuffs as stacks of sugarlumps! 😱

To think, I used to cut a hole in an orange, insert a sugar cube and suck the juice through the sugar. A good orange took several cubes.
I also remember at school, coca cola had a promotion and we used to raid the corner shop in break time (at school) and buy a glass bottle of coke. You hit the cap on the iron railings and quickly put it to your mouth (we didn't have bottle openers) and drank through the cork in the cap - lovely and got a refund on the bottle when we took it back. Those were the days.
 
I can remember having weetabix and putting several tablespoons of sugar on them, then watching as the milk soaked into the sugar, which would have been about a centimetre deep 😱
 
Now we know what causes diabetes....



































Weetabix😱
 
and oranges!....

I can remember my papa used to make us tea with about 6 sugars in - there'd be about a centimeter of sugary sluidge in the bottom of the cup.
 
I have an apple after lunch and an orange after supper and it's definitely the Cadburys whole nut that causes the problems:D
