How much sugar are you drinking?

From the web:

One teaspoon of granulated white sugar is equal to about 4.2 grams. If you are buying a bottle of cola with 44 grams of sugar, you would divide 44 by 4.2 which is equal to 10 teaspoons of sugar. There is no real universal formula for converting grams to teaspoons that will work for all ingredients. This is because grams measure weight and teaspoons measure volume. A teaspoon of sugar weight 4.2 grams while a teaspoon of salt weighs six grams. A teaspoon of dried parsley only weighs 0.5 gram.

The lemonade I buy is 8 oz. per serving with 29 grams of sugar per serving. That adds upto 6.9 teaspoons of sugar whenever I have a glass of lemonade!!! faint

I only use about two teaspoons when making it from scratch. No more store lemonade for me.

Google Aspartame.

It got approved because "... there was no requirement in place in FDA regulations to include brain research in the approval process, only cancer research. Searle's Chief Operating Officer, Donald Rumsfield, reapplied for FDA certification immediatedly after U.S. President Ronald Reagan took office." [from wikipedia]

I also heard the same claim about Rumsfield on NPR.
