I'm reading a great article about hidden sugar in food. Below is a list of alternative sugar names that can appear on labels:
1. sucrose
2. fructose
3. maple syrup
4. molasses
5. dextrose
6. turbinado
7. amazake
8. sorbitol
9. carob powder
10. glucose
Because this is such important info (and it's right at my fingertips!) here's more:
galactose
lactose
maltose
invert sugar
raw sugar
brown sugar
confectioner's sugar
granulated sugar
corn syrup
high-fructose corn syrup
honey
What amazes me more are the foods that contain so much sugar that don't even seem sweet, like white bread. It's literally everywhere....
