Watch for Sugar in All Its Forms
Beet sugar or barely malt may sound healthier than plain old sugar and high fructose corn syrup, but sugar is still sugar, no matter what it’s called on a nutrition label. Given that there are more than 50 names for sugar and that an adult in America eats an average of one pound of sugar each week, it’s no surprise that an estimated 16 million Americans have high blood sugar levels, an early warning sign of type 2 diabetes. Learn all of sugar’s 50 names so you can spot it when reading food labels.

Yes, you can be addicted to sugar. When sugar hits the blood stream it acts like a drug addiction; a natural high and that is because sugar is a carbohydrate that stimulates the chemical in our brain called serotonin that makes us feel good. Natural sugars are a better choice. You can get natural sugars from fruits and vegetables.
