Cutting down on Sugar - what to look for.

Hidden sugars are everywhere - in your food, your cabinets and pantry. Throw away foods containing high amounts of added sugars, everything from tomato sauces to ketchup and peanut butter. Be especially review low-fat items as they often contain more sugar to make them taste better.

 

Look out for these names:

• Fructose
• Maltose
• Sorbitol
• Evaporated cane juice
• Syrups
• Xylotol
• Sugars ending in "ol" or "ose

If these are in the top three ingredients, watch your intake of these foods.
