[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of products have hidden sugar and it is hard and expensive to find things like ketchup, barbecue sauce, soy sauce etc without sugar. Avoiding sugar can feel like a full time job in america. I am always surprised when I find yet another product with hidden sugar.[/quote]

That isn’t the problem.  Those items have always had sugar in them, and the sugar is minimal.  The problem is portion size and having a diet consisting of essentially junk food- not ketchup and soy sauce. [/quote]

It’s really not hard to avoid sugar. Don’t eat ketchup and bbq sauce. It’s entirely unnecessary. Cook at home with minimal sugar. It’s really not hard. [/quote]
It is hard to avoid sugar when eating out/buying pre-made food for quick meals at home. Maybe if you SAHP or don't have kids it's easy, but with 3 kids and 2 FT demanding jobs - it's really a struggle sometimes because added sugar is everywhere.[/quote]

But it isn’t the small amounts of added sugars in condiments and such..

It is flat out gigantic portions of garbage food making people fat.  Soda, McD, huge burritos, candy, cupcakes, Cheetos, Doritos, chips, cookies, Cinnamon Toast Crunch ..[/quote]
