Being health conscious is a way of life for many people. Most people who think eating a diet free off sugary treats eliminates them from the risk of sugars. Unbeknownst to them, they may be ingesting hidden sugars they are completely unaware of. Follow this guide to educate yourself on how to spot hidden sugars in labeling.
▪ Step 1: Read and understand how many servings per product. A large product container will contain more servings and only list the sugar per serving.
▪ Step 2: List the grams of sugar per serving. One teaspoon of sugar is equal to four grams of sugar. Understand how many grams of sugar per serving the consumable product contains prior to consumption.
▪ Step 3: Find any hidden sugars in the product. Many ingredients contain sugar; some are noticeable sugars where others such as mannitol or dextran will not be obvious to the uneducated consumer.
▪ Step 4: Compare carbohydrates to sugars in the product. Purchase products containing less than a third of the total carbohydrates from sugars. Unprocessed food contains complex carbohydrates which are healthier.
▪ Step 5: Know the difference between no added sugar and reduced sugar. No added sugar means that no extra sugar was added to the product. The product may already contain a lot of natural sugars. A product containing 25% less sugar can indicate reduced sugar on the label however this does not mean the product does not still contain more than enough sugar.
▪ Step 6: Don’t entirely trust a product promoting sugar-free. The term sugar-free only means that per serving the product has less than 0.5 grams of sugar. The sugar in these products can add up.
Many products are processed which means they are full of ingredients that are unnatural. Although the shelf life will be much shorter, purchasing and consuming products that are made from unprocessed natural ingredients are a healthier choice. Beyond unprocessed natural foods, being label conscious will help you pick processed foods that are the healthiest options.
