Unsure if a food has added sugars? Look for these ingredients on the label. Now, they often, nowadays, when they’re manufacturing edible substances, that we call food. Not everything we eat is actually what I call food, but, in a lot of these manufactured products, they try and hide the sugar, quite frankly. They give it different names. for example, anything that ends in -ose, those are the ones we’re more familiar with. Or if it actually has sugar in the name brown sugar, cane sugar. But when you see fructose sucrose, dextrose maltose, right away, hey, call it sugar.

But now they’re using different, names or different forms of sugar. They often call something a syrup. So rice, maple, corn, or evaporated cane syrup. that’s sugar. All right, plain and simple. Or if it says it’s honey, molasses, or agave, that is sugar. Or if you see something called fruit concentrate or fruit nectar.

That is sugar. So everything it seems has sugar in it.
