15 "Healthy" Foods You Won't Believe Are Full Of Added Sugar

Canned or Boxed Soups

No one uses canned or boxed soups because they love them. It’s about convenience and conventionality; when you don’t have a lot of time, they make for a quick, good meal or snack that will keep you going. Many of us also use them to help make meals, which is great, because you can keep them on hand. The problem is that they often use sugars to sweeten and flavor these products.

Watch List:

Be aware of traditional sugar, cane sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and evaporated cane juice. More than that, watch for soups that are likely to have more sugars, such as sweet potato, tomato, carrot, and butternut squash.

Frozen Yogurt

It is true that frozen yogurt - a typical alternative to ice cream - uses less cream and fats. Have you ever wondered why it still tastes so delicious? Well, that’s because it uses a lot of sugar to make up for what it lacks in the other two ingredients. We also rarely stick to the suggested serving size, so be careful when scooping in order to control sugar intake.

Watch List:

For just a half cup of frozen yogurt, there can be about 17 to 25 grams of sugar and alternatives. That’s not counting the syrup your drizzle on, the chocolate crumble on top, or sprinkles. Ingredients such as fructose, cane sugar, corn syrup, maltitol syrup, fruit concentrates, and sucralose are all potential dangers to avoid.
