Seriously, I wanted to know just how much 33 grams of sugar is (amount of sugar found in Lipton Brisk lemon flavored ice tea) I have been drinking several a day lately. So I found out that 4 grams of sugar is equal to 1 teaspoon. So that means roughly 8 teaspoons plus a little extra is how much sugar I am digesting each time I drink 1 12 ounce can of ice tea.
I decided to take a picture of this to show everyone how much sugar this really is.
Yikes, this is a standard wine glass I have and look how much sugar is in there. What if I drink 2 or 3 cans a day? I used to drink 6 cokes a day when I was younger. Not for a long time. I have drank allot of diet drinks but that is going to be stopping also.
Folks, this is scary.
Check this link out about sugar and you decide if you want this much in your diet:

No more Lipton ice tea for me. Plus, I am cutting back on diet drinks as Aspartame and Sucraluse etc are not good for us either.
Just thought I would share this with you all.
