Grams of sugar

When you read the labels on food containers, you find that the ingredients are measured in grams.  That would mean something if we were raised in Europe or someplace where they learn the metric system.  Unfortunately, that generally means that ingredient labeling is provided but is meaningless to most Americans. 

While I was looking for information on sugar sneaking around in foods we don't suspect, I found a quick way to convert those lists into something we understand.  4 grams of sugar equals one teaspoon. 
12 grams equals one tablespoon.  48 grams equals 1/4 cup.
