This is my 4th part of my blog on more hidden Sugar Sources in Our common daily food.
In first part we learn how much harm sugar is doing to our body. In this part you will see more common food we think are healthy but are not.
13. Common Flavoured yogurt
How much sugar- 5 teaspoons (19 grams) of added sugar in 6 Oz
Yogurt might be synonymous with "health food" for many, it's a great source of protein, calcium and cultures but unless you're buying "plain" yogurt, that dose of dairy may contain 20 grams of added sugar or more! When shopping for yogurt, pay close attention to the ingredients list and look for varieties with little to no added sugars.
14. Barbecue Sauce
How much sugar- 2 teaspoons (8 grams) of added sugar in 1 oz.
Barbecue sauce is synonymous with the feel-good vibe of summertime. Unfortunately, just one ounce can pack in 8 grams of added sugar--and most people use more than that on their serving of ribs, chicken, or shredded pork sandwich. One way to trim the sugar is to simply look for a low-carb or no-sugar-added sauce at the supermarket, or to make your own slathering sauce by mixing sugar-free ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, garlic, tomato paste, and a pinch of cloves. Need a hint of sweetness? Add just a pinch of your favourite sweetener (sugar or otherwise).
15. Coleslaw
How much sugar- 3.5 teaspoons (14 grams) of added sugar in 1 cup
Coleslaw can vary widely in its added sugar content, depending on the ingredients used to make this popular cookout side dish. Some recipes actually call for adding up to one full cup of sugar. To keep your sugar and vegetables separate, avoid the pre-made coleslaw from restaurants and grocery stores and make your own. Try substituting nonfat plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise (to cut fat and boost protein), and use a couple tablespoons of red wine instead of sugar. Add a little lemon juice, garlic, and/or Dijon
16. Healthy Honey
How much sugar- (17gms/tablespoon)
Some people suggest honey is good substitute for sugar but when we see one tablespoon contains 17 grams of sugar. Then we should think how dangerous this substitute is for us.
