The Medical Care Costs of Obesity: An Instrumental Variables Approach. John Cawley, Chad Meyerhoefer.

Mars (62.5 gram bar) 43.6 grams or 11 teaspoons of sugar. Twix (58 gram bar) 38.0 grams or 9.5 teaspoons of sugar. Turkish Delight (51 gram bar) 37.9 grams or 9.5 teaspoons of sugar. Snickers (62.5 gram bar) 34.1 grams or 8.5 teaspoons of sugar. Kit Kat (4 fingers) 28.2 grams or 7 teaspoons of sugar. Cadbury Dairy Milk (49 gram bar) 27.9 grams or 7 teaspoons of sugar.
