Hidden Sugar in Food: A Risk for Health
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Several web pages and journals have been lately published news on hidden sugar in foods, sometimes in an extensively descriptive form, sometimes applying scientific concepts [1-4]. Also, interesting web pages show graphically how much sugar there is in foods (i.e., how much grams of sugar or sugar cubes are contained in soft drinks, canned vegetables, breakfast cereals, soups and sauces…); foods that, initially, should not contain sugar in its composition [5]. How true is all this?
