Most of us easily cut out table sugar from our diets since it was so obvious to remove, but did you know there is hidden sugar in most packages foods.  In a perfect world, we would make everything homemade and control every ingredient we use, but let’s be honest we’re all busy and life gets in the way sometimes…short cuts are necessary.  It’s important to know which foods typically have hidden sugar so we can steer clear of these items and make good choices in the grocery store.

It’s important to look for words ending in “ose,” like maltose or sucrose which are usually forms of added sugar.
