Re: Sweetener ?
Good brain training there! Yes, I do eat lots of fruit with cinnamon sprinkled on it, but lately my mornings have been so busy that it is getting harder and harder for me to make good food choices. I would love to just open up a box of say, pumpkin flax granola cereal, but the cane sugar is there. I have been trying to just eat oatmeal or similar grains, with fruit added, but it takes so long for grains to cook.
I have found the sugar label to be misleading too, as fruit etc in products will raise the grams when there isn't necessarily 'sugar' added to it. So yes, like you say, reading the ingredient list is key.
