Do you know how much sugar is in your food?

[Randomguy]

Just saw this and thought it was interesting.  I make my own pasta sauce (sugarless, doncha know), and I haven't bought yogurt in a while, but now I am thinking about it.

Obviously not enough

Salt can be bad also. A little bit can be too much. 5 grams, the weight of a nickel, is too much unless you are sweating a lot. 

Plain vanilla yogurt has less sugar than fruited yogurts.

There's more and more sugar in everything.

The Baby Ray's BBQ sauce has about 3x that of the excellent homemade sauce I make for 3 lbs of ribs that only needs 2 tbsp brown sugar.

If you walk down a supermarket cereal aisle, the Nutrition Info on the box doesn't tell you the %age of sugar, but it will something like 28 g per serving and 7g of sugar and 7/28 is 25%.

Almost ALL the cereals are 25% of more sugar.  I like original Cheerios (5% sugar) and if I want a sweet cereal, Harris-Teeter Honey Oat Cluster Crunch with Almonds which is 17% sugar, but at least only 2/3 what 95% of the others are.

Even potato chips are now "Honey Barbeque" that used to "Barbeque."

Etc. Etc.

Rao's sauces gets promoted in weight loss programs because it uses less sugar than most brands.

My wife makes the pasta sauce, and I eat TJs greek yogurts in my muesli morning mix.  Neither are where I get most of my sugar - that's from hot chocolate and/or candy bars!

Yea, those of us with diabetes know, or at least should know.
