Sweetener ?
OK, so I have known for the longest time about sugar, and why we need to avoid it...but I am noticing in more and more foods that they are finding clever ways to 'disguise' it. Pretty much anything that ends in 'ose' makes me raise my eyebrows. And I avoid honey.
But for goodness sake, what about 'evaporated cane juice'. It is in all the 'healthy'/smart choice foods, I love cereals, granola, etc but it seems as if everything has sugar or something sugary-sounding.
Anyone have a list of what to avoid, what is ok? I do use agave nectar sometimes, or cinnamon, but that is about it.
Thanks in advance!!
