Hidden Sources of Sugar in Diets?
Improve your overall health by reducing the amount of sugar
consumed. Excess sugar in the diet contributes to weight gain and
negatively affects triglyceride, cholesterol and blood glucose
levels. A low-sugar diet seems obvious by reducing the amount of
junk and snack foods that contain sugar; however, it is equally
important to be aware and reduce foods that contain hidden sugars.
Hidden sources of sugar in the diet include ketchup, bar-b-que
sauces, teriyaki sauce, salad dressings, peanut butter, and canned
fruits and vegetables. Read labels and know that ingredient lists
with sugar, glucose, corn syrup or words ending ose contain a
high-sugar content.
