AnswerBank Answer:
Even though a lunchbox is healthy how much sugar may it contain?
Even "no sugar added" products and foods contain all-natural sugars. This amount of "hidden" sugar can add up. Sugar can't be avoided completely and brushing after meals and snacks helps reduce the chance of tooth decay. Consider the sugar content of this typical healthy lunch:
- Sliced peach cup, no sugar added, ½ cup serving: 6g sugar
- Single serving box of raisins, 42.5g: 30g sugar
- Granola bar, 1 bar: 10g sugar
- Cheese sandwich: 7g sugar
- Total: 53g of sugar
