• Nutrition Education Resources With SugarByHalf

    In a world where sugary drinks, processed foods and hidden sugars are everywhere, it’s never been more important to teach students about nutrition, sugar consumption, and healthy eating habits. These units, created with SugarByHalf, help educators teach students how to make informed food choices, understand the health risks of excess added sugar and develop lifelong skills for wellbeing and nutrition literacy.

The importance of teaching nutrition and sugar literacy

These lessons help students unpack the science behind added sugar, decode food labels and know how to make informed, balanced dietary decisions. By building these habits early, students are empowered to improve their wellbeing and contribute to healthier communities.

Each unit includes interactive elements, real-world scenarios and age-appropriate content to help educators confidently teach nutrition and sugar science in a fun, engaging way.

Making healthy choices count

🍎 Help students explore the health impacts of excess sugar, including obesity, diabetes and dental decay

🍎 Develop critical thinking about food marketing and health claims
