You can thank the sugar lobby for that. They are very powerful. No one would want to see that every candy bar or cereal is 2500% the daily value of added sugar. They don’t care about your health. They just want to make money.
This post is so dumb is must be troll. Look two posts up for a label that shows exactly like what you say doesn’t exist.
BTW, it’s 50g/day of added sugar for RDA.
Or perhaps you are this dumb. How much TikTok are you watching these days for nutrition advice?
Wow, you are a jerk. I was wrong that the label was recently amended to add that fact but there was a long history of this being the case if you had taken time to educate yourself before spewing your vitriol.

Next time do your own research before being so wrong. The thread is about the present day. Turns out the FDA did something about added sugar. I’m sure it’s still a big conspiracy. Or people don’t care and won’t invest their own to time educating themselves about what they are putting in their bodies.

No, but you have to be awfully vigilant to avoid it.
No you don’t. All you have to do is turn the product over and read a label.
When eating premade food, like take out/restaurant/bakery assume the worst with regards to added sugar and you will be correct.
Yeah I don't understand how it's hard at all. You only need to do 3 things:
- make your own meals
OR
- read the ingredients of the prepared and processed food you buy
OR
- don't eat out so often
You don't have to be super vigilant. Just put in a small amount of effort.
Why do people need to be nasty about everything. It would be nice if labels were easier to read of if they had to be more explicit about added sugars. I personally would love to see Amy sugar or sugar substitute to have to be on the front of the label in large font. I struggle to read some labels and with all the various forms of sugars and sweeteners. So it would be nice if it was easier.
I don't understand - nobody's being nasty. You have to try to do a little bit of the work yourself - that's normal. Food labels already have an "added sugar" clarification. See it below. The nutritional label in this example has 23 grams of added sugar, which is very significant. The 2 natural sugars (total minus added) is not a concern.
Natural sugars, like those in fruit and vegetables, are nothing to be worried about.
Ultimately it sounds like you need to start making some meals yourself. Then you have total, very easy control.
But something like 100% juice is all natural sugar, and it’s still sugar. Ask anyone with diabetes. Besides that, a product with refined carbs might show 0 sugars on the label, but it is still not that good for you and will act like a high sugar product once it’s digested..
Yes, tart cherry juice is a leading cause of metabolic disorder because of the sugars in that product. All we need now is some TikTok’s tell us grapes are the same thing as milk chocolate and should not be fed to children to fully close this out.

There's a lot they could do, if having a healthy population were actually the goal. But you have to have crappy food so people can have crappy health so they keep their crappy job for the crappy health insurance they use at the crappy health care which is about neither.
The US doesn't care about the health of its people.
Where does the Illuminati fit into all of this?

NP. You really don't have to be vigilant at all, unless you're eating a lot of processed foods or eating out regularly.
Make your own meals, eats lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes, and eat out max 1x a week... you will consume next to zero added sugar. If you're buying a lot of prepared foods... well yeah, but also stop buying so much prepared food.
This is the correct answer. It is not that difficult [/b]for me[b].
While you are technically correct, and probably think that's the best kind of correct, making all your own meals, and your kids' meals, and possibly a spouse's meals, and working, and keeping your house managed, and keeping yourself managed can be a lot. And if you manage it all well under ordinary circumstances, there are no guarantees you'll always have ordinary circumstances. So maybe you make your ketchup from scratch every time, pp, but some people just don't always have those resources. Not to mention the expense of purchasing all whole/raw ingredients in a country that subsidizes processed foods.
What would make convenience foods less of a sugar liability is clear labeling and fewer buzzwords.

Wasn't former NYC mayor Bloomberg criticized for wanting to get rid of XL soft drinks because they have too much sugar? People said it was a form of the nanny state.
You have to pay attention to what you buy and avoid things like XL soft drinks, hidden sugar and most restaurant good. But people still smoke.

And it’s easy math. 4 grams of sugar is 1 teaspoon. For example, 1 teaspoon of ketchup has four grams of sugar, which equals 1 teaspoon of sugar. I’m guessing the average ketchup user on fries and a cheeseburger is probably consuming 4 teaspoons of ketchup (likely a lot more), so 4 teaspoons of sugar.
I think visualizing actual teaspoons of sugar is the most impactful approach.
