My cousin consumes at least 20 tablespoons of added sugar every day?

By cousin drinks about 5 cups of coffee per day she adds at least 4 tablespoons of sugar to each cup. This doesn't even include the sugar from the soda she drinks. How bad is that for her health. She is completely in denial of the amount of sugar she consumes.

    you should stop her its not good for health

  • Not only is the amount of sugar bad but so is the amount of caffeine your cousin consumes. You should show her maybe a vid on the effects of sugar and caffeine as well as the consequences. Having shaky hands is one sign of over consumption of caffeine. Both can mess with your heart and caffeine can of course mess with your sleep schedule. It's very unhealthy.

    Estimate how much sugar she consumes per day, fill a measuring cup with that amount of sugar, give your cousin a spoon and tell her to eat all of it in one sitting. A lot of times a person needs to actually SEE how much they consume before it registers in their head that it's not good for them.

    Tell her to read up on Type 2 Diabetes. It wont be long at the rate she's going before she'll need to know all about it!
