How much and what kind of sugar are you consuming today? Not sure? Well, there are 150 different names for sugar in 74% of packaged goods. So, how could any of us really know how much sugar we are consuming? “Lil Sugar” is a fictitious character who embodies all the types, teaches us the names, and shows us how to spot the various disguises of sugar in everyday foods and beverages. Why is being able to spot the various types of sugar matter? Because childhood obesity and diabetes are two major risk factors, along with heart disease, that threaten the health of all of us and disproportionately threaten Black and brown communities. Health disparity is a real problem and health literacy is solvable. The creation of “Lil Sugar”, the master of sugar’s many disguises, is our contribution to the efforts to close that gap by creating smart, educational, engaging, and memorable resources.
