Sugar – the number one ingredient that can lead to a variety of health problems. In addition, it’s addictive. Sugar is also a common food additive that we all need to consume less.

Unfortunately, this sugar is not always obvious in the foods you are consuming. It is often hidden under different names and forms in different food and drinks. In fact, we even consider some of these foods as healthy.

It’s important to know other sneaky names manufacturers are using for sugar. Here are some other names of sugar on food labels.

• Anhydrous dextrose
• Brown sugar
• Cane Sugar
• Corn syrup
• Corn syrup solids
• Crystal dextrose
• Evaporated cane juice

a food labeled “sugar free” or “no added sugar,” does not necessarily mean that the food is low calorie or carbohydrate free. To know the exact ingredients of a packaged food, the best source is the nutrition facts panel on a food label which lists all ingredients and their quantities in detail.
