[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They could do is change ingredient labels. 1) It would be helpful if all sugars and artificial sweeteners were labeled as such. For example: Ingredients: brown rice syrup (sugar), fructose (sugar), aspartame (sweetener). Public education: 1) educate on guidelines for a maximum daily threshold for sugar 2) educate on how much added sugar is in common items 3) educate on value of minimally processed versus highly processed alternatives Policy: work with USDA to reduce subsidies that are currently incentivizing highly processed sugars into highly processed foods in American diets[/quote] All of this. I have no doubt there are people who see “sugar free” on labels without realizing that just means an alternative is used. Hell, Dave’s Killer Bread is marketed as health food but has five grams of added sugar. I hate having to read labels so closely.[/quote]
