We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

1 Teaspoon = 4.92892 Milliliter
1 Teaspoon = 0.16666 Ounce(US)

By the way teaspoon is not a mass measure but a volumic one so you need to know the density of what you want to measure

XXX teaspoon * 4.92892 Milliliters/teaspoon * density (g/milliliter) = XXX grams

1 teaspoon US = 4.9289 ml (milliliters). 1 ml of granulated sugar weighs 0.849 grams, so 4.9289 ml * 0.849 grams = 4.1846 grams in 1 teaspoon US

In every country other than the US, a teaspoon = 5 ml. So a teaspoon would contain 4.245 g of granulated sugar.

In all countries, a metric teaspoon = 5 ml. However, there are at least 2 other countries besides the US that have different teaspoon measures.

A teaspoon UK = 5.9194 ml
A teaspoon Canadian = 4.736 ml

I don't know the histories of different teaspoon measures, but my guess is these (US, UK and Canada) are traditional measures used before the metric system was put into place.

Well, I googled it and it seems 10 teaspoons is 40 grams. So 1 teaspoon should be 4 grams I guess.. I'm not certain about it too. ^^;

I saw on the news last evening that we are not to have more than 6 teaspoons of sugar a day. How does that figure? If a soda has 29 grams of sugar what does that equal in teaspoons?

1 Teaspoon = 4.2 (dry) grams of perhaps sugar

Therefore,

1 Gram = a tinge more than 1/4 Teaspoon

Hope this helps...... :)
