We eat foods contaning sugar at almost every meal but do you know how much sugar that little chocalate bar actually contains? A single milk chocalate bar contains about TEN TEASPOONFULS of sugar, about one-third of the amount of sugar we guzzle everyday, which is an astounding thirty teaspoonfuls of sugar. Even a small tin of baked beans contains two to three teaspoonfuls of sugar, but the funny thing is we cant even taste the sugary taste at all. This makes sugar all the more dangerous, as even a 500ml of green tea with "reduced sugar" and the "healthy pyramid" sign contains 22 grams of sugar! You might think the bottled green tea tastes "pure" and contains little sugar but you're wrong!
Sugar can cause tooth decay, diabetes and even obesity.(surprise) We only have two sets of teeth in our lifetimes, so tooth decay can really be a big problem when it comes to chewy foods. Sugar can also cause obesity as sugar is high in energy, and if you love to snack on candy or chocalate when your watching the television or relaxing, DON'T. the sugar will be converted into excess energy and fats will come your way soon if you do this everyday.
Abstain from that bar of chocalate you eat everyday, or you wont be able to eat any when you get diabetes, and you'll be unable to eat any sweet foods or enjoy that bar of chocalate once a week. start cutting down on your daily intake of sugar everyday, and you'll be on your way to a happier, healthier life.

June, a pretty , inexperienced and popular model had just been hired to pose in a clothes advertisement. She was asked to wear an ilk of flamboyant dress and the picture was going to be on placards all over the world. However, the dress made her look more like an old-fashioned "auntie" then a model. This made her a laughing stock at was known from then on as "The model auntie". When she tried to explain that the incident was fortuitous, and that someone had edited the dress onto her body, no one believed her, and June was devastated. She could not expunge this memory from people all over the world and was just going to be laughed at when she catwalked as a model.

Even though Monica and Priscilla are identical twin sisters, their personalities are as different as night and day. Monica is meticulous, diligent and sanguine while Priscilla is rash, rough and violent and often gets into trouble. During primary five, Priscilla got into trouble for bullying a primary one girl by extorting money from her and threatened to beat her up if she refused to “pay up”. It was only one month later, when Priscilla punched the girl in the face, breaking two of her front teeth when the parents and the principal found out about this incident. The parents were furious about the school’s being oblivious to this incident and reported it to the press. The school’s reputation was tarnished and the school was inundated with phone calls of complaints and criticism. No matter how hard to school tried to explain, everything was fruitless.
