We need to reduce our sugar intake

After reading about the muchfeared sugar tax, I was shocked by the amount of sugar contained in a slice of bread ? Half a teaspoon!

A can of cold drink has about three teaspoons of sugar. Our love for sugar has even seen people add sugar to Amasi, which in my book is tantamount to adding teaspoons of salt to custard.

When you realise how much sugar you consume, it’s enough to make you drop that koeksister.

So, armed with this knowledge, I decided to eliminate sugar from my tea and coffee. That was 12 months ago and I haven’t looked back. Sandile Ntuli, Johannesburg
