yup, that's got sugar in it
So far in this no-refined-sugar month, my favorite thing is that I've learned a ton, and it's only been 10 days. One big thing I'm learning is exactly how many common foods (as well as edible fake food, e.g. twinkies) have sugar added to them. I knew this in general already, and I suspect most of you did, but now I've got a lot more details.
Some foods with added sugar:
most pasta sauce in jars (Prego, Newman's Own, etc. Mama Coco's does not.)
wheat thins
potato chips (as if they weren't bad enough already)
sun chips
mass-produced sandwich bread
hamburger and hot dog buns
some packaged sushi
Foods with added high fructose corn syrup:
ketchup
whole wheat bread from Costco
Kellogg's cereals, including Raisin Bran (since coating the raisins with sugar is apparently not enough sweetening)
I am told triscuits have no added sugar. Must check that out. And as far as I can tell, many breads from bakeries don't have added sugar, although they may add molasses.
Last Friday I was up at Punahou's ropes course, running an event for Spring Camp. Lunch time came, and I figured out there were exactly two things there I could eat: apples and oranges. galactic_dev, you will be pained to know that the only type of apple present was red delicious. So I had an orange. All the other stuff was granola bars, chips, crackers, and sandwiches with mass-produced bread. Good thing I had brought my own sandwich and carrots with me.
