Sugar?

Most foods that we eat on a regular basis don't seem sweet, but please don't be fooled, they are packed with sugar. For more information on this post, check out the article at Take Part, here's the link, http://www.takepart.com/news/2010/10/18/how-much-sugar-are-you-feeding-your-kid.



Ketchup


Tomatoes are highly acidic. Mash a bunch of them up, and you get a pretty tangy paste. To balance out that zip, companies add extra high fructose corn syrup or sugar. Next time you're at the store, compare ketchup—and other tomato-based products—to find the one with the least sugar.

Bottled Tea

Though it seems like a healthy alternative to soda pop, bottled tea can often pack just as many grams of sugar. A 16-ounce SoBe Green Tea, for example, has 50 grams of sugar, according to WebMD. A safer bet? Make your own tea from scratch (that's water and a tea bag, for the novices out there) and pour it into your Nalgene.


Dried Fruit
Like tomatoes, fruit can be tart. So manufacturers add sugar to level it out. How much sugar? Well, one serving (a third of a cup) has 25 grams of added sugar.


Baked Beans

Foods don't have to be sweet to be sweetened. One cup of canned baked beans with no salt added has nearly 15 grams of added sugar.
