The hypothesis (or prediction)

I think most people gain weight and become unhealthy because of their sugar intake.

Sugar is a form of carbohydrates. The body breaks down all carbohydrates into sugar. There are different types of sugars, which vary in the structure of their molecules. They include:

• glucose
• galactose, which milk contains
• fructose, a sugar common in fruits Disaccharides or polysaccharides are sugars with two or more molecules. These include:

• sucrose, which is a common form of table sugar
• lactose, another sugar in milk and dairy products

In my experiment, my mom stopped eating sugar for two weeks 

Independent variable - the amount of sugar not eaten 

Dependent Vairable - the weight loss 

Purpose of the experiment: To see if sugar is the main cause of weight gain, I am testing this on my mom. My mom has stopped eating sugar from last two weeks and here are the results…

Materials Needed - Weighing Scale, My mom, Pen and Paper to record 

Procedure: 1. Day 1 - Stop eating sugar and record mom's weight 

2. Continue to not eat sugar and weigh mom every 2nd or 3rd day in pounds. 

3. Keep doing step 2 until Day 14. 

4. Compile the results in a table

Too much sugar can cause serious health problems. 

It can raise blood glucose levels, causing diabetes ,heart disease, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, kidney disease, liver disease, damage to the retina, muscle, tooth decay and nerve damage.

People are not aware of how much sugar they end up eating each day. People need to read the nutrition facts before making a purchase as even drinks that we think are healthy can contains close to 40 grams of sugar. 

in this project i observed no errror
