Good Lifestyle

It's not a secret: sugar is bad for health. I do not talk about natural sugars in fruits and honey, this amount is tiny compared to all sugar that we consume with products that are inappropriately unclear. You do not need to nibble cookies or chocolate bars everyday to eat sugar, some products contain many and can even be salty! Yes, even this tomato soup you buy at the supermarket contains the daily dose of recommended sugar. If you seriously want to limit sugar, you need to know some tips. Here are 10 foods that contain a lot more sugar than you think.

Soda

The brands like to hide the amount of sugar they actually put in their products, so they use different names to deceive the buyer. Among the ingredients, instead of classic sugar you will see sucrose, the caribbean syrup, fructose, dextrose and I pass. There should be a good base in chemistry to understand how much sugar is present in the products we buy. The soda is a pretty obvious choice but listen to that: a bobbin contains 29g of sugar, it's more than the recommended daily dose! Women is advised to consume only 25g of sugar a day, while men can consume up to 36g.

Aromatized yoghurt

The flavored yogurt can be seen as a healthy product but it is rarely the case. Especially those with a low fat content: manufacturers put more sugar to compensate for the lack of taste, which makes yoghurt as healthy as a ball of ice cream. A flavored yogurt pot can hold up to 33g of sugar, so it is necessary to read the labels carefully. The best option is to buy skinny nature yoghurt and add your own fresh fruit or honeyhead.

Agave syrup

Agave's syrup is usually considered a healthy substitute for sugar but in reality, it is far away. It contains 85% fructose, which can attack the liver and cause enormous long-term problems. Let's say it is more difficult for the body to metabolize fructose than sucrose but in fact, none is better than the other. On the other hand, it is a little easier to metabolize the cane sugar than the agave.

Cereal bars

Cereal bars are not better than sweets, with their chocolate coating or sugar-wrapped yoghurt. They may also contain brown sugar, honey, corn syrup and other not really healthy sweeteners. A portion of muesli may seem healthy as breakfast, but it contains about 10g of sugar. If you do not feel satisfied enough and if you still take again, it may become a sweet disaster for your body.

Barbecue sauce

This good old barbecue sauce is a real sugar bomb, even in small quantities. Just a few grams of BBQ sauce contain more sugar than you can imagine. Take two tablespoons of this sauce returns to consume two teaspoons of sugar. Up to 33% of BBQ sauce is pure sugar! Be attentive to your portions and try to make your own sauces when possible.

Pasta sauce

All prepared sauces are made with sugar but pasta sauce should not appear on this list, right? After all, the taste is not even sweet! Well, it actually contains a good dose of sugar: part of it naturally comes from tomatoes, while the rest is added to improve the flavor and preserve the product. A half-cup of pasta sauce can hold about 12g of sugar, so you'd better make your own sauce or look for preparations with little sugar in the list of ingredients.

Dried fruit

Dried fruits look healthy for breakfast but reality is a little different. Many brands are adding sugar in their products, so it is necessary to control the composition when buying dried fruits. The entire drying process creates concentrated sugar, which makes a lot of dried fruit packet much sweetened than two or three fresh fruits put together. We can eat a lot of sugar without even realizing it!

Sports drinks

Sport is so healthy drinks should be healthy too, right? In fact no, it is certainly not the case with most sports drinks designed to give athletes a boost for energy. They are extremely rich and can contain up to 40g of bottle sugar. It's a lot more than the recommended daily dose! Stay in water during physical exercise, it's the only liquid you really need.

Flavor

Ok, it may not be a surprise but do you really know how much sugar contains a flavored coffee? This huge coffee coffee or vanilla cappuccino can contain up to 50g of sugar and sometimes more! It's about 11 teaspoons. It is really better to stick to the good old ordinary cafe, small or medium format.

Canned soup

Who could have thought that canned soup was sugar-rich? It can be a real sugar bomb if we do not carefully read the ingredients. Look for other sugar names like maltose, barley malt, sucrose, fructose syrup, etc. If you see many of them mentioned with small quantities, then the product probably contains too much sugar. Find products with small amounts of sugar in the list of ingredients.
