Today, our workplace got a lovely delivery of free yoghurt from @Chobani_UK and because of my crusade, I proceeded to annoy all of my fellow workmates:
Did you know? That one yoghurt you’re eating contains ALL of your recommended daily sugar intake? A woman’s is around 20 grams and that yoghurt contains 19!!
Shut up, Steph.
I also realised that instead of promoting a reduced sugar diet to the office, I was inducing type 2 diabetes in them all by feeding them the brownies I made. It was like a zoo at feeding time, and I raised £5.40 for Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation.
Adding that to the £69 raised in sponsorship from my colleagues, and a £10 online donation by a lovely lady called Lizzie – It’s all looking great!!
In a quest to be even more annoying to everyone around me, I’ve started reading free kindle sample chapters from books like Beat Sugar Addiction Now! and Fat Chance: The Bitter Truth About Sugar.
I’ll let you know if any of them tempt me to buy!
Interesting facts of the day:
- Chapattis don’t contain any sugar, nor do many curries (thanks for this one Naureen!)
- Chobani yoghurts contain 19grams of sugar
- Global use of high-fructose corn syrup has increased by 250% in the last 15 years
- Our rate of diabetes has increased by 45% in that time
