3 Methods to Find Added Sugar inside your Food

Added sugars are the syrups and sugars added during the processing of foods and drinks. And according to the FDA, Americans are consuming added sugars in amounts that exceed recommended limits..
On the old labels, added sugars and natural sugars were lumped into “total sugars.” However, now manufactures are required to distinguish the amount of and percent daily value for added sugars. So what should we be looking for?
The American Heart Association has recommended limits for daily added sugar intake..

How does the #sugar in #fruit compare to the sugar in processed foods like #soda or cookies?
Everyone loves a sweet treat, but on average, Americans eat nearly 66 pounds of added sugar per person per year. It’s easy to exceed the daily recommended sugar intake when a 12 oz soda has about 11 teaspoons of added sugar. But what about the sugar in fruit? Should people be worried about how much fruit they’re eating? Dr. Kimber Stanhope, a Nutritional biologist at UC Davis, walks us through the science..

Even if you pass on dessert and avoid sweet drinks, you may be consuming more sugar than you realize. That’s because it’s added to many foods and beverages..
Added sugars hike calories in your food but don’t boost nutrition. And these sugars increase your chance for weight issues, vitamin deficiency and tooth decay..
The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion’s 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that these added sugars make up no more than 10 percent of your daily calories. Recommendations about sugar consumption don’t include foods with naturally occurring sugars, because those foods usually contain other beneficial nutrients..

Summary:
1. Watch Out For Sugar’s Many Names.
To paraphrase Shakespeare, would sugar by any other name still taste as sweet? Well as it turns out, the answer is yes, and it’s also equally unhealthy regardless of what you call it. According to Helen West of Healthline, while “sugar” is the general name applied to the short-chain carbs that sweeten the taste of our food, sugar can show up in your food under a variety of different names..
2. Look Out For the Many Types of Sugar.
In addition to having many names, sugar can take on many different forms as well. It’s worth mentioning that the ingredients listed on a food’s packaging are listed by weight, with the most abundant ingredients appearing first on the list..
3. Expect Added Sugar In Unexpected Places.
Sometimes, sugar is just like your ex: always showing up at the most inconvenient times and in the most unexpected places. While plenty of junk foods are obvious sources of sugar, sugar might also be added to other foods which you might not associate with being especially sweet, such as breakfast cereals, yogurt, and even spaghetti sauce!
4. Be Wary of “Healthy” Sugars.
In order to make their products seem healthier and more appealing, food companies may sometimes swap out regular sugar for an alternative sweetener instead. According to Healthline, these alternative sweetening options are often unrefined and are made from the sap, fruit, flowers or seeds of plants, with one example being agave nectar..
5. Look Out For Combined Sugars.
Some foods, such as fruits, vegetables and dairy, contain natural sugars that usually don’t present the same health concerns that added sugars do. One of the main reasons for this is because natural sugars are typically harder to eat in larger amounts than refined or added sugars, and the fiber and antioxidants present in things such as fruit usually serve as a counterweight to their natural sugar content..
6. Be Skeptical of Health Claims.
Food manufacturers know that there’s a high demand for food with supposed health benefits. With this in mind, they’ll often slap whatever health claims and related buzzwords they can find that are applicable to the product, such as “diet”, “natural”, “low-fat” and “light”. While these products may be low in fat and calories, there’s still a strong chance that they might contain a heaping helping of added sugar as well. Like we keep saying, read the label of the food you buy and don’t be suckered by healthy-sounding platitudes and buzzwords..
7. Question the Portion Sizes.
Sometimes, manufacturers in the food industry make the suggested serving size of their products deceptively small, in order to mask the amount of sugar their product actually contains. While an individual serving may be low according to the “suggested” size, these smaller portions will make you feel more inclined to eat multiple servings in a single meal or sitting, meaning that there’s a chance you’re getting two or even three times as much sugar as what’s printed in the nutritional information section..
8. Don’t Put Blind Faith in Low Sugar Brands.
Many brands of food are considered to be low in added sugars. However, according to Healthline, food manufacturers might sometimes use this as an opportunity to “piggyback” on an established brand by replacing a new version of the product that comes loaded with extra sugar..
