Exploring the Dangers of Artificial and Added Sugar"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you're worried about consuming <\/span>too much sugar in your diet, you're not alone, as many people ingest more sugar than they should.<\/p>\n<p>Natural sugar is present in fruits, vegetables, 100% fruit and vegetable juices, milk, and products containing milk as an ingredient. However, the sugar naturally present in whole foods doesn't contribute to many problems linked to added sugar consumption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It's added sugar you need to watch out for!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Added sugar gets put into foods and drinks during manufacturing to enhance sweetness. It adds unnecessary calories without providing beneficial nutrients, though it gives you a quick energy boost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artificial sugar is another thing to watch out for.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Artificial sugar tastes sweet but is calorie-free. It tricks your brain into thinking you're eating real sugar, releasing insulin and ultimately causing low blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n<p>This, in turn, increases hunger, fatigue, and oftentimes irritability. Artificial sugar can boost your cravings for real sugar and the risk of weight gain and diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Common names for artificial sugar include aspartame, neotame, saccharin, acesulfame, and sucralose.<\/p>\n<p>Keep reading to learn how to adjust your diet to avoid too much sugar and make clean eating your go-to method!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Learn how to recognize sugar addiction symptoms and kick your sugar habit!<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\" https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UkrNo5vcwSg?modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Why Too Much Added Sugar Is Bad<\/h2>\n<p>Sugar added to food and drinks during processing is the type of sugar you should avoid as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4975866\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies<\/a> show that added sugar is associated with a higher risk of obesity. This, in turn, increases your chance of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8848117\/#:~:text=Results%20showed%20that%20only%2017,added%20sugars%20on%20sleep%20quality.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studies<\/a> have linked high amounts of added sugar with poor sleep quality, another risk factor for obesity.<\/p>\n<p>Excessive sugar also increases your chance of tooth decay, gum disease, and additional oral health issues. Furthermore, gum disease and heart disease <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/heart-health\/gum-disease-and-heart-disease-the-common-thread\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">are linked<\/a> to each other, as having gum disease may double or even triple your chance of having a stroke, heart attack, or other heart problems.<\/p>\n<h2>How Much Added Sugar Can I Safely Consume?<\/h2>\n<p>While there are no guidelines for natural sugars, you can use these general recommendations to determine if you're eating too much sugar. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/carbohydrates\/added-sugar-in-the-diet\/#:~:text=The%20AHA%20suggests%20a%20stricter,of%20sugar)%20for%20most%20men.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harvard School of Public Health<\/a> notes that the average person consumes about 17 teaspoons of added sugar daily because of diets rich in highly processed, pre-packaged foods.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietaryguidelines.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-12\/Dietary_Guidelines_for_Americans_2020-2025.pdf#page=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dietary Guidelines for Americans<\/a>, people aged 2 and older should limit added sugar to <strong>less than 10% <\/strong>of their total calorie needs. This means that if you consume 2,000 calories daily, you should limit calories from added sugar to 200. Since there are 4 calories in a gram of sugar, that means 50 grams daily (12.5 teaspoons). To help you keep track, remember <strong>4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon of sugar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-eating\/eat-smart\/sugar\/added-sugars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Heart Association<\/a> (AHA) suggests consuming no more than <strong>24 grams of added sugar daily for women<\/strong>, no more than <strong>36 grams of added sugar daily for men<\/strong>, and less than <strong>24 grams daily for kids and teens ages 2-18<\/strong>. They also suggest limiting sugary beverages to no more than 8 ounces per week.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to looking at the grams of added sugar on food labels, another good way to track added sugar in foods is to use the % daily value (%DV) feature on food labels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"card-text\">\n<h2>Common Names for Added Sugar<\/h2>\n<p>When looking at the ingredient list on the nutrition facts labels of your favorite foods, be aware of the following common names for added sugar:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Corn syrup<\/li>\n<li>High-fructose corn syrup<\/li>\n<li>Crystalline Fructose<\/li>\n<li>Corn sweetener<\/li>\n<li>Agave nectar<\/li>\n<li>Brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>Sugar<\/li>\n<li>Raw sugar<\/li>\n<li>Cane crystals<\/li>\n<li>Cane sugar<\/li>\n<li>Coconut sugar<\/li>\n<li>Corn sweetener<\/li>\n<li>Honey<\/li>\n<li>Fruit juice concentrates<\/li>\n<li>Malt sugar<\/li>\n<li>Invert sugar<\/li>\n<li>Molasses<\/li>\n<li>Maple syrup<\/li>\n<li>Malt syrup<\/li>\n<li>Dextrose<\/li>\n<li>Sucrose<\/li>\n<li>Evaporated cane juice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Food labels provide the number of grams of total sugar, grams of added sugar, and % daily value (DV) for total and added sugars.

Here are some in particular to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n<h3>Sugar-Sweetened Drinks<\/h3>\n<p>Soda, lemonade, sweet tea, sports drinks, sweetened juice drinks, and sweetened coffee drinks often contain a lot of added sugar. <strong>A 12-ounce can of cola contains about 40 grams of added sugar! <\/strong>Diet sodas and other diet drinks aren't much better, as they often contain artificial sugars that are <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29159583\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">linked with weight gain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Condiments and Sauces<\/h3>\n<p>Many sauces and popular condiments, such as ketchup, barbeque sauce, tomato sauce, honey mustard, teriyaki sauce, and salad dressings, are also sources of excess added sugar. Check the ingredient labels on your favorite condiments, and choose &#8220;no sugar added&#8221; options or items containing 5% DV added sugar or less per serving.<\/p>\n<h3>Sweets and Baked Goods<\/h3>\n<p>You probably already know that sweets and baked goods aren't the best for your health, as they're usually loaded with added sugar or refined grains. Limit or avoid desserts, such as ice cream, candy bars, cakes, and sweet bread, as much as possible, or choose healthier alternatives like frozen fruit smoothies and dark chocolate.<\/p>\n<h3>Some Canned Foods<\/h3>\n<p>Not all canned foods contain excess added sugar, but many contain sodium, sugar, or both. Examples include baked beans, canned soups, and canned fruits packed in syrup.<\/p>\n<h3>Flavored Yogurt<\/h3>\n<p>Many flavored yogurts contain added sugar as an ingredient. Greek yogurt, especially plain, is often much lower in added sugar than regular yogurt, so choose it whenever possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Flavored Dairy Drinks<\/h3>\n<p>Flavored dairy drinks, such as chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry milk (or fruit-flavored kefir), are often loaded with added sugar. But that doesn't mean you should avoid milk and kefir, as these beverages contain protein, calcium, and vitamin D. Choose unsweetened milk, plant milk, or plain kefir.<\/p>\n<h3>Granola and Protein Bars<\/h3>\n<p>Granola, granola bars, and many protein bars are known for containing large amounts of added sugar. While not all these bars are equivalent to sweet treats, many aren't the best option for your health. Choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/protein-bars-for-weight-loss\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=too-much-sugar&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low-sugar protein bars<\/a> or granola bars fortified with protein to avoid consuming too much sugar.<\/p>\n<h3>Sugar-Sweetened Breakfast Cereals<\/h3>\n<p>Many families enjoy cereal or oatmeal for breakfast, but the bad news is that many of these products are packed with added sugar. Look for breakfast cereals without added sugar, choose those containing very small amounts (5% of your DV or less per serving), or pick unflavored oatmeal.<\/p>\n<h3>Diet Foods and Drinks<\/h3>\n<p>Many diet sodas, sugar-free sweet drinks, sugar-free candy, and other foods contain artificial sugars, which aren't better for your body than added sugar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Learn the TRUTH about artificial sweeteners!<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\" https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x1TbGMHZtV0?modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n  <div class=\"author-box-wrap auth5\">\n    <div class=\"thumb-wrap\">\n      <div class=\"author-img\"><img alt='' src='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/052cc35c68977b06470bb1c87c9d5923e921887ed2680c67669e32760bea7b5d?s=250&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g' srcset='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/052cc35c68977b06470bb1c87c9d5923e921887ed2680c67669e32760bea7b5d?s=500&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-250 photo' height='250' width='250' \/><\/div>\n      <div class=\"author-details\"><div class=\"author-name\">Erin Coleman<\/div>\n        <div class=\"author-job\"><span style=\"display:block\">B.S.&nbsp;Nutritional&nbsp;Science, R.D., L.D. <\/span><span style=\"display:block;\">Writer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fit Mother Project<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n          <div class=\"author-title\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"author-desc\"><p>Erin Coleman is a registered and licensed dietitian with over 15 years of freelance writing experience.<\/p>\n<p>She graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree in nutritional science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and completed her dietetic internship at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to beginning her career in medical content writing, Erin worked as Health Educator for the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Internal Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Her published work appears on hundreds of health and fitness websites, and she\u2019s currently working on publishing her first book!
