App Description

Want to take charge of your sugar intake? Ever wondered how much sugar is hiding in your favorite, everyday foods? Now, Show Me The Sugar makes it easy to find out.

Show Me the Sugar is dedicated to helping people discover the hidden sugar in everyday foods. You use your iPhone camera to scan a product bar code, or use the Search mode to manually enter a fast food menu item. Once entered, Show Me The Sugar will reveal the hidden sugar in a serving both in grams and a symbolic display of easy to understand teaspoons. Nutritional information for Show Me The Sugar is built from several leading industry databases which contain over 1.2 million combined food items -- no other app offers a more complete food database.

Show Me The Sugar is equally at home scanning products in your pantry, or put to work on your next shopping trip at the grocery store. Show Me The Sugar is even helpful when educating children on food choices by teaching them to compare the sugar content of different brands.

Users have a choice to use the app by logging into Facebook for full functionality and data portability, or without logging in which limits data to a single device.

Not only does the app expose hidden sugar in everything from salad dressing to spaghetti sauce, it has added features and functionality including:
• See your recent scans to quickly compare items or brands
• Designate a food a Favorite and add it to your Favorites list
• Set your own target goal for daily sugar consumption
• Use the Diary to log the sugar eaten in a given day
• Track and visualize your progress overtime with an easy to understand snapshot — a green bar shows you are on track with your goal, while a red progress bar signals that your sugar intake is surpassing your goal
• Progress tracking over time


ShowMeTheSugar is an app born to promote discovery, realization and sharing. When a user finds that their favorite hot cereal has 15 grams or 3 teaspoons of added sugar — they are shocked! The app makes that revelation easy to post with built in—buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ to share all those Eureka moments.

Show Me The Sugar is brought to you by the developers at Lucidity Solutions, LLC. Founded in 2014, Lucidity Solutions, LLC, is driven by a mission to provide consumers with “Information For Knowing™ — enabling them to make informed choices for their health and their lives.
