Looking Back On Sugar

I didn't know what to expect to find when I started this research paper. But looking back, I knew I didn't have the "healthiest" diet when I was growing up. I never really ate meat or vegetables or anything I really needed to get the nutrients I should have had. But after watching a few Ted Talks and looking at some recent studies, I found out I was consuming a lot more sugar than I thought I had. In one of the Ted Talks I watched, I found out that four grams of sugar is equal to one teaspoon and that seven teaspoons of sugar (28 grams) should be the daily maximum. However, I know that I, for one, usually ignore the amount of sugar in each serving. But after looking at several articles, I realize that I should have kept a better watch on the amount of sugar I consume. Sugar is not only detrimental to our physical health, but our mental health as well. In the future, I should really read the labels carefully instead of throwing in whatever I'm accustomed to eating and keep in mind how much sugar I ingest every day in every serving.
