Whether whole-grain or multigrain, bread contain a range of nutrients that we need. Bread with fruits, honey, nuts, or cinnamon will obviously be higher in sugar counts, but even regular whole-grain and multigrain bread can be high in sugars.

Watch List:

In order to make bread, there aren’t that many ingredients necessary; water, salt, yeast, and flour is all it takes. The best bread will be limited to mostly these ingredients, and maybe grains, which gives you an added source of nutrients. Watch our for high fructose corn syrup, molasses, fruit juice concentrates, and evaporated cane juice.

Tomato Sauce

A common - and healthy - sauce to make with a range of meals, it is often very good for you with little poor additives. However, the one thing you should watch for in tomato sauces is sugar. Many canned tomato sauces use sugars to help sweeten them up, as they are often bland on their own.

Watch List:

Ultimately, you’re looking for relatively low sugar counts. It isn’t often disguised as something else, as tomato sauce usually has some amount of sugar. Instead, make sure that the amount of sugar is reasonable. Anything from 8 to 12 grams is probably excessive for an average sized jar.
