added sugars?

Question

ok, so when you are looking at the nutrition label of something like a drink with milk in in, or a fruit filled granola bar how can you tell which sugars are added and which ones are the natural ones? (natural i.e. from fruit, milk, etc)???

Answer 1

Look at the ingredients. Like say its for some candy with milk in it. It will probably say:
Ingredients: High fructose corn syrup, something, something, Milk (sugar, other stuff in milk, etc.), something...
If the ingredient is part of another ingredient it should be in parenthesis.
Get what im saying?

Answer 2

The type of sugar. I will not buy something that has corn syrup and/or high fructose corn syrup in it. However, if it says something like sweetened with cane sugar, natural cane suagar, raisin juice, etc. I'll buy it.

Nutri-Grain bars, for instance, have high fructose corn syrup in them. If I remember correctly, they have several listings of sugar in them, in both the grain part and the fruit part. It claims to be healthy, but the first ingredient on the list is high fructose corn syrup, I think. They also contain other forms of junk as well.

Fig Newtons also contain the fake sugars.

Quaker granola bars are the same way. They claim to be healthy, but then contain corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, and other forms of junk.

Trader Joe's, a national chain of health food stores has a store brand of both granola bars and fruit and grain bars, for under $2. The fig bars (which they have named, This Fig Walks Into a Bar... The apple ones, This Apple Walks Into a bar... and the same with the other fruit ones) taste like Fig Newtons, but better. I say but better because they have no junk in them. The granola bars are the same way. I think they're both sweetened with cane sugar and other natural sugars.

Anyway, it just comes down to reading labels.
