   Well done!

   Cubes certainly add another dimension to otherwise flat soda label.

   I know they have the little "We don't differentiate between different types of sugar" note, but I really wish they would have a blurb about how your body needs healthy sugars, and that the idea is to feed your body what it needs, not all the other crap. If you take the sugar out of soda and replace it with splenda, it is still crap for your body.

   ivymae: Wonderful point...crap is crap, whether its sugar or salt or anything else.

   There's a big difference between corn syrup (in the soda) and cane sugar (cube).

   I didn't know you could buy high fructose corn syrup in cube form.

   I agree with ivymae
   And
   They shouldn't have put up the fruit section
   While fruits have sugar, they are still much better than most other foods, and it is a different type of sugar.
   By putting the sugar content in healthy foods up there, people will opt not to eat them and choose something not on the list, and in most cases, worse for them

   Unsweetened applesauce should be 11 g, not 211, no? (in the fruits section)

    Oh really? What are these "horrible effects" of Splenda??

    Any documentation, except for that one web site paid for by the sugar lobby??

    If you listen to the Health Food aficionados, almost EVERYTHING is bad for you, except for what THEY sell, of course.

    Thanks for making this point so succinctly. On my blog at http://www.dentistryfordiabetics.com/blog I talk about the importance of a healthy diet in avoiding developing diseases like diabetes. I also discuss the role dental care plays in maintaining good health.

    More Reeses and less Snickers. That's what I learned today.

    Typical food police baloney.

    Someone else here already said it: EVERYTHING IS BAD FOR YOU

    What is the solution?

    DON'T DO TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING - MODERATE

    If you choose not to moderate, then deal with the consequences like an adult. Take responsibility and stop blaming everyone (and everything) else.

    Is this really that hard to understand?

    Filling a jar with the amount of sugar you take in each day can be a powerful visual to help decrease your sugar intake.
