Sugar in food is more complex than it appears. While consumers might look for the word 'sugar' on labels, many forms of sugar go unrecognized. For example, gummy bears list 'sugar' just once, even though they contain glucose syrup, dextrose, and other sweeteners. Awareness of this labeling trick is essential for healthier eating habits and managing sugar intake, prompting the need for consumers to educate themselves on various sugar forms that contribute to total sugar content in food products.
In gummy bears, the term 'sugar' only appears once, but several other forms of sugar like glucose syrup and dextrose are present, indicating hidden sugars.
Food labeling can be deceptive; several ingredients may contain sugars, making it difficult to recognize total sugar content even if the word appears rarely.
