Do: Watch out for added sugar ...
Research has consistently linked excessive sugar intake to weight gain. And two-thirds of all packaged foods and beverages have added sugar, according to a Canadian study. Sugar may be listed under at least 30 different names, including sucrose, fructose, corn syrup, dextrose, honey, molasses, agave, and fruit juice concentrate. The highest sugar content was seen in expected sources such as sodas, candies, snacks, baked goods, and breakfast cereals, but also in condiments, sauces, and spreads. These results are comparable to estimates reported in the U.S.
