ATTENTION! IT’S SUGAR!

Sneaking in, using different names…. No matter what it call itself, it is still…. well …SUGAR. It causes you to gain weight, it is not good for your teeth, it ages your skin (yes, really), it is addictive and too much of it can trigger insulin resistance or diabetes. Sweet at the beginning,  bitter by the end. Watch out! 



So it called sugar but what else?

SUCROSE 
EVAPORATED CANE JUICE 
AGAVE NECTAR 
FRUIT JUICE CONCENTRATE 
100% FRUIT JUICE 
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP (HFCS) 
GALACTOSE 
MALTOSE 
DEXTROSE 
LACTOSE 
BLACKSTRAP MOLASES 
BROWN RICE SYRUP 
BARLEY MALT 
DIASTATIC MALT 
DIATASE,…….and so on….. 

Scary right? If you eat processed food you probably eat way more sugar than you think. So how to avoid all this hidden sugar and, protect your waistline and most importantly your health? Just ditch the processed food all together or at least as much as you can. Stay away from everything that doesn’t really exist in nature and be safe. Have you ever seen a tree with chocolate bars? Or those salty chips – do they grow on fields? And take me to the farm where the hot-dogs grow, please!
