A wise man once said: "extra sugar is bad for you."
One thing that has helped me reduce my sugar consumption is to read food package labels and only buy packaged products marked "all-natural" or "no added sugar".
When I read labels, I'm surprised at how much sugar is added to "healthy" products like applesauce, fruit juices, and even instant oatmeal.
In "healthy" products, I watch for ingredients like "high fructose corn syrup" or "evaporated cane juice," which are just sneaky sugar nick-names.
What's the most creative name for sugar you have seen?
I haven't heard a creative name, except for "Diet"; but I have heard a creative excuse. My 3 year old told me, "I don't feel well, I need a woot beew fwoat so my tummy feels better okay." Sneaky little bugger.
ReplyDeleteYogurt is another "healthy" food. Most yogurt has more sugar per ounce than soda!
