# Mary Poppins sang a song that goes... 

>*"A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."*

She seems to have convinced the food and drug industries, because sugar pops up as an "added ingredient" in the most unlikely places: *soda crackers, spaghetti sauce, soups, ketchup, salad dressings, and toothpaste."*

When you start looking for sugar on the food labels, you may not see the word "sugar" in the ingredient list even if you know it is there.  That's because sugar comes in many disguises.  The word "sugar" on a label refers only to cane or beet sugar, but other sugars are often added to foods.

### To help students to be able to identify the various forms of sugar in food, I have prepared the following activity:
<br>
1. Write this ingredient list (from a cereal package) on the board or give it as a handout:
<br>
Oat Flour
Sugar
Defatted Wheat Germ
Wheat Starch
Honey
Brown Sugar Syrup
Salt 
Almonds
Trisodium Phosphate
Sodium Ascorbate
Calcium Carbonate
Niacin
Iron
Vitamin A Palmitate
Pyridoxin Hydrochloride
Riboflavin
Thiamin Mononitrate
Vitamin B12
Vitamin D

2. Have the class point out the "sugars" in the list.
<br>
3. Ask the class to guess how many teaspoons of sugar are in one 12-ounce can of soda.
<br>
4. Measure out 12 teaspoons of sugar into a glass to show them the amount of sugar one can of soda contains.
<br>
5.  Point out the possible health problems associated with too much sugar (tooth decay, diabetes, empty calories that replace nutrients).
<br>
### Ask students to circle the forms of sugar on a handout about two food labels that you have prepared for them.

At the end of the lesson, you'll want the students to be able to list three forms of sugar found in foods (for example, sucrose, honey, corn syrup).  They should be able to describe how much sugar content is in each of the more common foods and drinks they consume every day, and they should also be able to describe some illnesses related to sugar.

You can actually have a lot of fun with lessons about sugar.
