A blog making it easier to get healthy, food wise. Some I find online, some I find in books, some I make up myself, But nothing is mine unless stated. Now I know my title isn't the most appetizing title but bare with me because my goal is to make it as easy as possible to make healthy eating, easy and delicious.

How Sugar Is Hidden on Food Labels

We all know checking food labels is an important part of staying healthy but did you know that not all food labels are very specific about how much sugar is really in there by using other sweeteners that you may think are healthier or a little bit better for you than regular sugar. BUT, you may be shocked to find out that most sweeteners raise the blood sugar at the same rate at regular sugar and can just as easily tell your body to start storing fat, so here are the sweeteners to check for when reading a food label.

  • Cane Sugar
  • Maple Syrup
  • Honey
  • Molasses
  • Corn Syrup
  • Corn Sweetener
  • Brown Rice Syrup
  • Crystallized Cane Juice
  • Evaporated Cane Juice
  • Maltodextrin or dextrin
  • dextrose
  • fructose
  • glucose
  • maltose
  • sucrose
