- Asian sauces
Although they are really reduced in sodium, they are full of sugar. They contain a large amount of corn syrup and dextrose and maltose. An oriental sauce can have up to 8 gr. of sugar. To make it healthy, consume the sugar-free version.
- Jellies
In addition to the fructose that fruits naturally have, jams have a lot of added sugar. It is known that sugar is necessary, because otherwise they would not be thick. The bad thing is that these sweets have a mixture of different types of sweeteners and sugar. So even those who are light have a lot of hidden sugar: up to 12 gr, in addition to the fructose content. The ideal is to find a natural version free of sugar.
- Pasta sauces
They are a good company for spaghetti, but they are loaded with sugar. When treating and packaging the vegetables, the natural sweetness of the tomato is lost, so you must add enough sugar: each serving can have up to 3 tablespoons (11 g). Choose natural versions without added, last less but are healthier.
- Flavored oatmeal
If you want to add the nutritional values of oats, but do not add sugar, forget about the flavored versions. For example, a cup of cinnamon-flavored oatmeal has 17 grams of sugar. Therefore, the natural version or without flavor is better.
- Canned tea
It has more and more followers for its antioxidant and protective powers against various diseases, especially green tea. But beware: those who come bottled have a very high content of high fructose corn syrup or other types of sweeteners. A 15-ounce can of green tea has the same amount of sugar as a 34-gram chocolate bar. Better, prepare it at home with bags and sweeten it with little sweetener.
