00:00:00
Let's talk about the food we have on
00:00:01
this table because this is how much
00:00:02
sugar I would have thought was in all of
00:00:04
these things here. Cereal, potato, white
00:00:07
rice, a banana, and a chocolate bar.
00:00:10
>> So, now I'm going to give you the
00:00:11
correct
00:00:12
figure. The cornflakes is 1 2
00:00:18
4
00:00:20
5 6 7
00:00:23
8.
00:00:24
That chocolate bar
00:00:27
is actually 7
00:00:29
and a half. The banana
00:00:32
that's 6. The potato, obviously it
00:00:34
depends on its size. That's quite a big
00:00:36
one.
00:00:38
So, that one is 9.
00:00:40
The final one
00:00:42
obviously is going to be the killer,
00:00:44
isn't it? 150 g of boiled rice. 3
00:00:49
4 Oh my gosh. 8 9 and
00:00:54
10. So, that's the winner.
00:00:56
>> I thought rice was healthy.
00:00:57
>> Each of those cubes of sugar represents
00:01:00
a 4-g teaspoon of sugar. That's the
00:01:02
single fact round the world. There we
00:01:05
are.
00:01:06
That's one of my teaspoon of sugar
00:01:07
charts. So, what you've got there is the
00:01:10
food, the glycemic index, the serving
00:01:13
size, and then the teaspoons of sugar.
00:01:16
These infographics, they're available in
00:01:19
35 languages. Volunteers have translated
00:01:22
this to go all over the world. It's not
00:01:25
copyrighted. I want people to steal it,
00:01:27
take it, use it. The white rice fact, I
00:01:31
would say
00:01:33
has astonished people all over the world
00:01:35
and led to me becoming far better known.
