Nowadays, you can find sugar in many products and not know it is staring straight at you from the nutrition label. Sugar takes on many disguises. Many are unaware that sugar has more than 60 different names. Sugar is one of the dietary ingredients that may be listed with another name or made from various foods making it difficult to identify.
Making a habit of checking over the ingredient list can keep you from consuming an ingredient you don't want to. Ingredients listed on the nutrition label will be listed from highest quantity to lowest quantity. So, for example, if sugar is close to the top, the higher the amount of sugar that product contains.
Keep this list handy when heading to the grocery store to keep you from throwing something in the cart you may regret later.
Remember that having these items listed on the label makes the product a deal breaker. The amount of sugar included is what matters. A product with a total carbohydrate count of 1-2 grams can be incorporated into a low-carb eating style.
