18 Foods and Drinks That Are Surprisingly High in Sugar – Helen West, RD
For the past 7 months I have really made an effort to watch the amount of sugar I consume. While the decisions about the foods that I eat are now second nature, when I first started calculating my intake I was amazed at the sugar content of many of the foods that I and my family would eat regularly, most of which I assumed were somewhat healthy.
For some this comes as no surprise, but for many who are unaware of exactly what they are eating, monitoring their daily sugar intake may be a valuable exercise, one that gets them one step closer to achieving better health, now and down the road.
Our “Best Article of the Week” this week by Helen West, RD, from Authority Nutrition, is all about the sugar content of foods that, for many of our clients, may seem healthy, or at least nutritious, but might actually be contributing to their risk of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Food is medicine and helping our clients really see what they eat everyday may just be the catalyst to better choices and better health. Knowledge is power!
