There are sources of hidden sugar all around you. There are many products at the grocery store, your favorite restaurant, and even in your own home that are likely sources of hidden sugar. The reason is because it is in a lot of foods that you would not think of when you think of foods with added sugars.

Pasta sauce is one source of hidden sugar. Although it does not taste sweet, there are up to 12 grams of sugar in a single serving of pasta sauce.

You may think that yogurt is a healthy choice, but it often contains a high level of sugar. Some yogurt contains more than 30 grams of sugar. Check the food label before making that next yogurt purchase.

Avoid any food or drink that contains fructose. It is in many foods and even in some sweeteners.

Eat regular oatmeal and avoid the instant variety. Instant oatmeal contains higher amounts of sugar than the oatmeal in the box.

Granola bars are often coated in sugar and have more sugar than you think that they do. They are not a healthy snack.

Creamy salad dressings often contain an excessive amount of sugar as well as unhealthy fats.

Canned or frozen fruit is something that you should avoid because of the added sugars. Choose fresh fruit that you are allowed to eat instead of the other options.
