People often complain about not fully understanding nutrition labels. Here is a simple rule you can establish for yourself. If you are trying to cut back on sugar in your diet, and most people should be, it can be hard since sugar is in almost everything. When buying packaged/processed foods, read the ingredients label. Ingredients are listed in order of the amount in a product ie the first ingredient listed is the main ingredient in the product. The last ingredient listed contributes the least to the product. Where does sugar rank? In a long list of ingredients, you should avoid anything that has sugar listed in the top 4 or 5 ingredients. And remember corn syrup, fructose, etc are just other names for sugar.
