Sugar – it's everywhere! But not all sweeteners are created equal. Lurking in everyday foods are sneaky "hidden sugars" that add unwanted calories and can contribute to serious health problems like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Surprisingly, nearly a quarter of the sugar we consume hides in processed foods, luring us into unwittingly exceeding our daily sugar intake.
In the fast-paced world we inhabit, convenience often dictates our dietary choices. Processed and packaged foods, known for their longevity on the shelf, frequently harbor hidden sugars. The rise of on-the-go snacks, pre-packaged meals, and grab-and-go beverages has inadvertently contributed to increased sugar consumption.
