Ketchup or mustard? Soda or apple juice? Can you guess which of these foods you're eating has more sugar?
It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the amount of sugar in your diet. Natural sugar, the kind found in apples or potatoes, is better for you than added sugar, which is in soda and baked goods. It is recommended that no more than 10% of calories each day should come from added sugars. This equals to about 200 calories or 12 teaspoons based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Food labels list the amount of total sugar, but check the ingredients to see if sugar was added.
There are 36 grams of sugar in a 12-ounce serving, compared with 39 for a typical soft drink. But the sugar in soda is added -- not from a natural source like apples. If you crave that apple goodness, have a splash of juice with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime. Or better yet, eat an apple: A medium-sized one has lots of fiber and nutrients and 18 grams of natural sugar.Dried Cranberries or Gummy Bears?Surprise! This dried fruit has 50% more sugar than the same amount of gummy bears.
But before you make gummies your new go-to snack, know this: Cranberries -- and other dried fruit -- pack far more nutritional value and fiber into each bite. And the gummy bears have more total calories per serving.Boston Cream Doughnut or Mocha Frappuccino?If you really have to decide, this has more than 3 times the sugar than an indulgent, chocolate-covered cream-filled doughnut.
