"how 80% of food products in US supermarkets have added sugar."
The other 20% have added artificial sweeteners that taste awful. (edited to note I hate the taste and idea of products that are heavily marketed as "no added sugar" that are dosed with megatons of suralose or similar)
You pretty much HAVE to go homemade paleo style food. Luckily that kind of food can be delicious and easy to make and cheap... A big salad with a modest side of meat, a stir fry made with a bag of frozen veggies and chopped meat, classic meat and veggies, meat and spices in a slow cooker, etc.
- slfnflctd 7y agoI have no problems with artificial sweeteners and have used them for over a decade (mostly in beverages). I believe it improved my health. Eating too much real sugar isn't even that enjoyable now, and usually makes me feel sick.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI recently reduced my pop to a friday afternoon one can treat, but before that I drank exclusively diet drinks - I got so used to it that drinking a full sugar coke was sickly sweet.
- sevensor 7y ago> meat and spices in a slow cooker I cannot overstate how much of a difference it makes to season your food with delicious spices. I think packaged food has so much sugar and salt in it partly because spices are comparatively expensive. If you cook your own food, I highly recommend herbs and spices! (Also some spices, like turmeric for instance, are reputed to have health benefits of their own.)
