How much sugar does your “health” bar contain? You would be surprised. And when you look at the nutrition label, what is 18g anyways? Well, that’s 4 1/2 sugar cubes. Quite a bit when you think about it.
We designed Hidden Sugar to help you visualize the sugar we all eat in processed foods. It’s not until you see it, that you realize how much sugar it really is.
We have made it really easy to discover and track how much sugar is in your process foods. It's simple, open the HiddenSugar App, and scan the bar code of any processed food item. HiddenSugar will then display the amount of sugar in sugar cubes! That way you have a fighting chance of knowing how much it really is!
You can also track that sugar in our app, so that you have a better understanding of how much extra sugar your consuming through the month. It adds up.Take A Tour

Too much sugar leads to unhealthy weight gain, which amongst other things can lead to type II diabetes.
Context. We "translate" the sugar listed on nutritional labels into something we all instinctively understand. Sugar cubes. Not sure how much 24g of sugar is? That's six sugar cubes.
Open the Hidden Sugar App, scan the bar code of a product, and see the amount of sugar listed on the nutrition label translated into sugar cubes. You can track your daily and monthly sugar as well.
In the U.S the data is provided by NutritionIX.
Yes and no. The data we use to translate a bar code into a sugar cubes cost us money. In fact, we are charged for each scan. We provide five free scans for a 30-Day per thirty day period, after which unlimited scans for 30 days can be purchased for $0.99
We would be happy to hear from you!
