Foods Surprisingly High in Added Sugar

Who eats a "one-cup serving" of ketchup?

The only surprise in this study is that the author does not know this has been common knowledge for the last 50 years. I recently contacted General Mills about their health-conscious cereal multi-grain cheerios. I asked why they put 6 grams of sugar in this cereal and only 1 gram in their regular cheerios. They said that consumers wanted it that way. What's wrong with leaving it out and allowing consumers to put their own sugar in if they want it? So the cycle is complete. Now consumers are fully addicted and want sugar even in their health-oriented products.

I understand there is not so much sugar sweetener in many usual grocery items as there is high fructose corn syrup. The body does not know how to digest HFCS and stores it as fat. I would be much more concerned about HFCS than sugar at this point as for example, from what I understand, there is little sugar in today's sweetened soft drinks, unless they are bought from Mexico.

The items listed in the article do contain sugar; however, I believe they are in the great minority. Check out labels in the grocery.

I love eating sweets and this article is trying to shed light on petty things......
