Fun fact: In the 50's there was a war between fat and sugar. Fat pulled the short end of the stick and was labeled BAD. They got the fat out of a lot of products. Because that products lacked calories they used sugar to replace the calories.
Seriously amazing how much sugar they put in some products!

I'll make this a short post: (if I get myself talking about sugar and the stuff it does to your body I can go on for ages)
Alot of people try to avoid sugar but them sneaky producers just put other names in the tag.
Here are just a few of the names you may not be so familiar with:
Barley malt, Corn syrup solids
Fruit juice, Honey
Beet sugar, Date sugar
Fruit juice concentrate, Invert sugar
Brown sugar, Dextran
Glucose, Lactose
Buttered syrup, Dextrose
Glucose solids, Malt syrup
Cane-juice crystals, Diatase
Golden sugar, Maltodextrin
Fat=not so bad
Choose foods with “good” unsaturated fats, limit foods high in saturated fat, and avoid “bad” trans fat. If u ask me they are tasty as well!
I can really recommend "That sugar film" awesome to watch.
Just wanted to post the vid but I got a bit carried away.. :) - x -
