Sugars can be found on the list of ingredients. Look for sugar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, sucrose, dextrose, fructose& (look for the suffix -ose).

I dont suggest cutting sugar out of your diet completely because sugar is in so many foods its almost impossible to cut it out completely. Look for alternatives to white sugar such as rice, malt or barley syrups, evaporated cane juice, molasses, or honey. These are not great for your health but theyre a better choice.

There are no forms of refined sugar that are healthy to eat.

Sugar has empty calories. Dont eat ice cream, candy, soda, sugar cereal, etc. Once you get away from sugar your palette will adjust to eating healthy and you wont like the flavor of sugary food. Thats what happened to my family and me.

Sugar has a terrible effect on the body. Sugar is linked to heart disease, diabetes and kidney problems. It suppresses the immune system. It causes both hyperactivity and lethargy depending on the person. Sugar feeds the yeast in the intestines causing an overgrowth. This overgrowth leads to yeast infects, athletes foot, jock itch, and nail fungus just to name a few. Some breads need sugar to feed the yeast but your body doesnt.

Do yourself a favor and kick the sugar habit. Youll feel better and youll look better.

Do not substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. Artificial sweeteners are really really bad for you and should never be consumed.

Life shouldnt be a drudgery. Cut down on sugar but when your at a birthday party EAT SOME CAKE. Dont drink the soda though it contains way too much sugar and phosphorus (which will leach out your calcium) and can cause cancer!!

Dont avoid fruits and vegetable because they have fructose (fruit sugar).

Sugar is also a poison, as it dehydrates you when consumed excessively
