Sugar is in everything. The more research I do the harder it is to find the facts. Through all the research I found this to be helpful.
The following foods are typically loaded with sugar – This is just one sample.

Please comment and let me know if you have additional information about sugar. Or items you have found to be high in sugar and if you have their substitutes. I look forward to hearing from you!
