Since you mentioned dried fruit twice, I thought you might find interesting that WHO recommends counting dried fruit as added sugar (also honey and natural syrups, such as maple, in addition to what we usually count as added sugar).
- gumby 11y agoMy favorite (== most hated) example of this was some soy milk I saw at whole foods. In big letters on the front it said "NO ADDED SUGAR!". Flip the box around and the #2 ingredient was "dehydrated cane juice." It's no surprise even the CEO of whole foods says most of the stuff they sell is crap. I used to shop at their original two stores in Austin before they decided to expand and they sold a very different class of product.
- jkestner 11y agoSure - I either eat fruit as a meal, or add it as the sweetener. The nice thing about eating actual fruit is that you know what's in it. The key is just being cognizant of what's actually going in your body, and its effect. Sugar is sugar regardless of provenance.
