Sugar by any other name...

These are all different names for all the sugars that are listed in your prepackaged foods on the shelf at most grocery stores. Just to give you a heads up on just how much refined sugar we are actually taking in…

NOTE: I am not including ingredients that include the word “sugar” in them, like “castor sugar” or “turbinado sugar”.
