It's in everything. It can be masked under all sorts of names. Let's be clear: Sugar is sugar no matter which name they mask it under. Yes, honey and molasses too.
- glucose
- fructose
- galactose
- dextrose
- honey
- molasses
- brown sugar
- raw sugar
- cane juice
- beet juice
- agave syrup
- nectar
- apple, grape, or orange juice concentrate
- confectioner's sugar
- baker's sugar
- powdered sugar
Next time you reach for your favorite sauce, condiment, potato chips, or even a beer check the label to see if it has one of the hidden sugars -- my guess, it probably does. The higher up on the list of ingredients typically means that there is a large amount of the ingredient. So that's why on some packages you'll see several different types of sugars listed. Don't be fooled.
