So when is a sugar NOT a sugar.. and are some better or worse than others?
I decided that this question needed to be looked into when I read a post on another web site, so I grabbed a few items out of the pantry and refrigerator to see what I could find.
100% No sugar added vegetable juice = 10g (Various vegetable concentrates)
White Cranberry Peach fruit juice = 28g (Various fruit concentrates)
2% Reduced fat milk = 12g
100% All natural fruit spread = 9g (Sugars from fruit/fruit juice)
Apple jelly = 12g (Natural ingredients)
Dark Amber all natural pure Maple syrup = 53g (Maple syrup)
Clover Honey = 17g (Pure honey)
Demerara Cane Sugar = 4g (Natural cane sugar)
Splenda = 0.5g (Backed by the ADA)
Now that I'm more confused than I ever was, I'll once again ask my original Thread Topic, ie: "Are some sugars better or worse than others".. and if so, which ones.. or is a sugar a sugar no matter what?
In the same light, what's considered the maximum amount of sugar(s) one should consume per day.. or does it depend upon the action/reaction (and thus the bg level) that one has in relationship to that same sugar consumption?
Boy.. having the big "D" sure does make life interesting.
