From cookies to cola: The sugar in your food

Just about everything we eat contains sugar.

In 2016, several nations considered imposing levies on sweetened food and drinks to battle obesity. The World Health Organisation recommended governments tax sugary drinks to curb the twin scourges of obesity and diabetes.

But, what about other foods? Do you know the amount of sugar you consume when eating pizza? Or something 'healthy', like fruit yogurt?

sinAzucar, a project by Spanish photographer Antonio Rodríguez Estrada highlights just that. Estrada presents photos of packaged food with the amount of sugar they contain in the form of cubes. The results may leave you dumbfounded.

You might have thought that bread has next to negligible sugar but you're consuming a sugar cube per slice. A pizza -- four-and-a-half cubes.

Unsurprisingly, cookies brim with sugar. But who could have thought a single contains eight and a half cubes. Will you still reach for a second?

Estrada hopes to raise awareness about the amount of sugar in processed food through his work.

Here's hoping these images help:
