Food Items that Contain ‘Hidden Sugar’

Too much sugar is bad for both, your skin and health.  People are actively trying to switch to natural sweeteners and cut refined sugar out of the diet to stay healthy. Though limited consumption of sugar poses no threat to health but more often than not, we fall for marketing gimmicks and fail to read the labels correctly.

There are many packaged food products that are sold in the market which are marketed as ‘healthy’ and many people don’t look at the sugar content before buying such products. Other than that, some food items contain more sugar than we know and you may think that these are low-calorie food items but a single-serve of these food items may contain more sugar than the recommended intake for one day.

Here are some food items that sound healthy but contain high amount of sugar.

Flavoured Yogurt

Tomato Ketchup

Granola Bars

Iced Teas

Energy Drinks

Canned Beans

Canned Fruits

Store-bought Smoothies

Low-Fat Salad Dressings

The best way to avoid consuming  sugar through these products is by making your version of these products at home. This way, you will be in control of what you choose to put in your food and you can regulate the amount of sugar.
