You need to be aware of the many different ways sugar is identified on the labels by clever marketers.

Here are some to look out for:

• Agave nectar, brown sugar, cane sugar.
• Corn sweetener, corn syrup.
• Dextrose, fructose, organic evaporated cane juice, sucrose, syrup.
• Glucose, fruit juice concentrates, processed honey.
• Lactose, maltose, malt syrup, molasses.

There could be others as well, but they are all just grand-sounding names for hidden sugar.
 
How to avoid buying foods with hidden sugar content.

• You may have to give up some of your favorite foods if you are serious about the dangers of hidden sugar. Check the labels of products thoroughly, including the amount of the sugar product, whatever it may be called, in the item you want to purchase. Also check the nutrition facts in some of the packaged foods - you could be surprised by the lack of any real nutrition in the product.
• One heaped teaspoon of sugar is equivalent to 4 grams of sugar, and on average up to 16 grams is added to a product, equal to 4 teaspoons of granulated sugar. This is just in the hidden added sugar from processed, off-the-shelf foods, not the obvious added sugar from cakes, sweets and deserts. So you could be over-loading your body without even realising it.
• Don’t buy anything which is labelled low fat, as it could do your body more harm than if you eat a full-fat product.

You may feel that all this checking on labels is going to a lot of trouble, and sometimes time- consuming, but if want to stay healthy and prevent the dangers related to excess sugar, then it is worth all the trouble for the benefit to your  health and well-being.
 
There is a worldwide epidemic.
Heart disease, diabetes, obesity and tooth-decay, have almost reached epidemic proportions. A poor diet, overeating, and especially high sugar intake, play a huge role in these conditions.

Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and watch your sugar intake, especially if you do not want be another statistic in the sugar rush for poor health.
