Some cereal and nut bars that are considered as 'healthyâ alternatives to conventional treats contain almost twice the amount of sugar as chocolate bars, a Sunday Telegraph analysis shows. A survey of popular products found that almost half contained at least three teaspoons of sugar. Two of the snacks - both Eat Natural bars - had 4.5 and five teaspoons of sugar. A two-finger Kit Kat bar contains around 2.5 teaspoons. While some of the sugar in the bars is naturally occurring due to the fruit or milk they consist of, many contain sugar that has been added by the manufacturer.
