The Hidden Sugar Crisis 🚨
Did you know that 74% of packaged foods contain added sugars? From your "healthy" breakfast smoothie (potentially packing 50g of sugar) to your favorite tomato sauce (often hiding 8g per serving), hidden sugars are silently contributing to a global health crisis. The World Health Organization reports that excessive sugar consumption is linked to everything from obesity to heart disease, yet most of us struggle to track our daily intake accurately.
