Dr. Richard Jacoby | The Toxic Effects of Sugar & The Corporate Food Conspiracy
Carbohydrate Calculation, The Bagel Sugar Equivalent
To understand food labels, Dr. Jacobi recommends dividing total carbohydrates by four to determine the equivalent teaspoons of sugar. For example, a single bagel containing 48 grams of carbohydrates is equivalent to 12 teaspoons of sugar, which is double the recommended daily limit. He emphasizes that the body's insulin response to these hidden sugars is the primary driver of weight gain.
