[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Except that PP is correct. Let’s take yogurt, for example. Out of 50+ options in the case, which one has a reasonable amount of sugar?

Plain. That’s it. And at my Giant, at least, there are maybe 4 options to choose from, only one or two of which are not fat free, which is vile and come with other things you don’t want to consume.[/quote]

For people who are a healthy weight and eating an overall balanced diet, why is a yogurt with, say, 3 to 5 grams of sugar "unreasonable"?  Are there new dietary guidelines that state the only amount of added sugar that is acceptable is zero?   I usually have maybe 10-15 grams/day at the most, but there is room in my diet for a vanilla Icelandic Skyr with four ingredients and 3 grams of added sugar.  I wish there were more low sugar options, but they do exist. [/quote]
Amount of added sugar is zero for the products that shouldn't have it per common sense of any reasonable adult. That would include bread, lunch meat, plain yogurt, fresh salsa, canned veggies, some condiments (it is expected to see sugar in lets say, bbq sauce). 
Other products are fair game. [/quote]

If I’m buying sweet peach yogurt- I expect it will have sugar.  Foods that taste sweet have sugar.  That is how it works.  This isn’t hard [/quote]
