Sodium According to figures published in Consumer Reports: One ounce of cornflakes has nearly twice the sodium found in an ounce of salted peanuts. Two slices of white bread contain more sodium than 14 potato chips. One-half cup of prepared chocolate pudding has more sodium than 3 slices of bacon.
Sugar Sugar is found is many of our kids' favorite foods. Just think about it: pies, cakes, ice cream, cookies, chocolate, candy, cereal, soft drinks! Sugar is also an ingredient in these 'kid-favorite' foods: cured meats baked beans salad dressing peanut butter ketchup flavored yogurt spaghetti sauces soups bread
Consider the amounts of sugar found in these tasty treats: A regular 12-ounce soft drink contains 9-12 teaspoons of sugar. One-quarter cup of maple syrup has about 7 teaspoons of sugar. A package of Hostess Twinkies contains about 6 teaspoons of sugar. A 10-ounce McDonald's chocolate shake has almost 10 teaspoons of sugar. One cup of Dannon's Lowfat Raspberry Yogurt contains almost 11 teaspoons of sugar!
