The Medical Care Costs of Obesity: An Instrumental Variables Approach. John Cawley, Chad Meyerhoefer. This paper is the first to use the method of instrumental variables (IV) to estimate the impact of obesity on medical costs in order to address the endogeneity of weight and to reduce the bias from reporting error in weight.
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. Crunchie (40 gram bar) 27.8 grams or 7 teaspoons of sugar.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day are : Men: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons). Women: 100 calories per day (25 grams or 6 teaspoons). To put that into perspective, one 12oz can of coke contains 140 calories from sugar, while a regular sized snickers bar contains 120 calories from sugar. If you are healthy, lean and active, these seem like reasonable amounts. Youâll probably burn off these small amounts of sugar without them causing you much harm.
