Hide And Seek With Sugar

Sugar is hiding in places I didn't even think about before.  It's not just lurking is your desserts anymore, and it's not always easy to find out just by reading labels (although that's important too).  By now we all know a typical soda contains as much as 9 teaspoons of sugar, but hold the phones...

Fat Free Yogurt- up to 6 teaspoons of sugar
Frappuccino- up to 11 teaspoons of sugar
Boxed sweet and sour chicken- up to 6 teaspoons of sugar
Tomato soup- up to 4 teaspoons of sugar
Pasta sauce- up to 3 teaspoons of sugar

Even many low fat foods are flavor enhanced with sugar!
