Some varieties have up to five grams of added sugar. 4.5 grams of sugar equals one level teaspoon, so one can of soup contains a little more than a teaspoon of sugar. I'm including molasses, corn syrup, sucrose, fructose, glucose, honey, corn sweeteners, maltose and the like. These substances are all sugar and they all have the same effect on the body. Most of these are products people don't think they need to use sparingly, so the sugar calories add up really fast.
Breakfast cereals are among the worst culprits in the battle of the sugar bulge.
It's no surprise that sugar-frosted flakes are loaded with sugar, an incredible 13 grams, or nearly three teaspoons, per serving. NEXT LET'S LOOK at refined grain products. There's sugar in white bread and products such as hamburger buns and hot dog rolls. Foods such as frozen pancakes and waffles contain sugar. In fact there's hardly a processed refined flour product that doesn't.
