2. Canned Fruits
The viscous sugar solution
clings to the fruit like
syrup to a pancake,
soaking every bite with
utterly unnecessary
calories. Looking for
cheap sources of fruit to
have on hand at any
time? Opt for the frozen
stuff—it's picked at the
height of season and flash
frozen on the spot,
keeping costs low and
nutrients high.
3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts contain lots of
sugar. Even the plain
doughnuts are high in sugar,
but if you choose one with
glazing, cream or jam, the fat,
sugar and calorie numbers
soar.
A chocolate glazed cake
doughnut contains 5 tsp. of
sugar, which make a
doughnut a disaster for your
health, teeth and weight!
4. Jelly Beans
All jelly beans vary in terms of the
specific ingredients that give them their
flavor, but all also share the same
fundamental ingredients that make
them a jelly bean: sugar, corn starch and
glucose syrup. The Jelly Belly company
does not disclose the specific
ingredients used to give flavor, and are
only required to list them as "natural
flavoring."
One serving size of 25 pieces add up to
100 calories. One serving size also
contains 25 g of carbohydrates, all of
which are sugars.
5. Ice-Cream
Ice cream is sweet because of the
number one and most addictive
drug in the world: sugar! And the
dairy industry is very clever and
has learned how to hide sugar
ingredients. Various forms of
synthetic chemical sugars and
sweeteners can be found under
such umbrella terms as:
• Sucrol • Saccharin
• Maltose • Aspartame
• Dextrose • Xylitol
• Glucose
6. Cup Cakes
This bevy of cup cakes is
teeming with more sugar than
you'd find in a pack of Peanut
Butter Cups.
If you want an easy-to-eat
breakfast food, grab a croissant
over a cup cake. They may be
heavy on flaky, buttery flavor,
but they're usually one of the
safest baked goods you'll find at
a cafe or coffee shop.
