Current Events > Products that contain sugar that should NOT

(+) Yeah! (+)

Beef Jerky: I mean, wtf?? Every single bag of it lists 6g+ per serving (which is like two pieces). Unacceptable.

Sports drinks: hello, people. We dont want LESS sugar in our sports drinks, we want NO sugar in them. Finally Powerade caught on. Drinking a regular Powerade or Gatorade is practically like drinking a coke.

Salad dressing: I dont eat salad, but I always roll my eyes when somebody brags about making a healthier choice and then dumps 20g of sugar on it. Ill take my burger, thanks.

Granola: another healthy choice gone wrong. Compare the sugar content of the average granola bar to a chocolate bar. If you have a granola bar, you may as well just have half of a candy bar.

Cereal: obviously many of these are loaded with sugar, but youd be surprised how much is in healthier choices. Plain Cheerios is the only cereal I know of with <1g of sugar.

Wake up. Carbs and calories are GOOD if you actually do work or exercise. People who avoid carbs are always tired, depressed, and they dont lose weight. Sugar is the NUMBER ONE reason people are so fat. Its not carbohydrates, its not calories, and trans fats play a secondary role to sugar.

It is literally everywhere and I wish more people would stop eating it. If it has more than 2g of sugar, then its got too much. Ive lost like 30 pounds since I quit eating and drinking sugar.

LOL at complaining that beef jerky might contain something unhealthy.

Yeah sugar is rampant. Wasnt there a scientific paper put out that pretty much explained sugar was the primary cause of rising obesity and not fat? But it was swept under the rug.

By the people who are selling sugar. Humans tend to like sweet things, adding sugar makes most people want to eat it more. Which I tend to hate, as I prefer savory over sweet.

I just think that people have been conditioned for so long (I remember this since I was a child) to think that calories and carbohydrates are the boogieman of food.

Heres another problem that I see: companies refuse to display sugar content. I had to go online to research the sugar content of some jerky because it refused to list it. 12g/stick. Go to sonic and look at their ice cream menu. It will list the carbs, but sugar content is nowhere to be seen. Go figure. I actually saw some jelly beans the other day that advertised fat free!

Oh! I can eat these and be thin!

i think southcoast is saying we need more FDA regulations to limit the amount of sugars in certain foods

I don't care for jerky.

I rarely drink sports drinks or soda.

Salad dressing... my favorites definitely the most sugary ones. Vinaigrette ones are my favorite. Balsamic is a little sweet so I'm sure it has sugar in it, but not all brands are sweet. Newman's Own is my favorite brand. Kinds like Caesar or Greek are good too. Even just good ol' basic oil and vinegar.

Granola is overrated.

I don't eat breakfast. I believe I had cereal once in the past year and it was for dessert. I was at my folks' place and I was all "shit I haven't had cereal in ages. I kinda want some."

No he's saying you shouldn't be eating beef jerky to begin with if you're concerned about eating healthy.

It's funny, both psychologists and dietitians confirm that if you cut that shit out of your diet, you eventually stop craving it, and then when you do eat it again most foods containing it are sickeningly sweet to the pallet. And yet here we are, consuming way more of it than anyone ever should, and it being put it every food product imaginable indiscriminately, because although it's not as easily visible as tobacco or weed, it's just as addictive.

Beef jerky is like one of the healthiest snacks around.

One of the many reasons I cut most processed food from my diet years ago.

A single serving of milk usually has about 12 grams of sugar which is complete crap since you can't even taste it.

I also wish they would sell fruit juices without any of the added sugar. Is that so much to ask for?

Garlic salt.

I don't understand how they get away with that one.

I'll never understand why sugar is added to loaves of bread.

Lemon and water AKA Ghetto Lemonaide.

Funny thing is if we weren't pumped with sugar since we were young we wouldn't have this huge desire for it. Our parents fucked us. They fucked each other and then they fucked us

Its true. My daughter refuses to eat cake ice cream or any sweets. They probably taste disgusting.

I find it hilarious that people think fatty lipids in food have anything to do with fatty adipose tissue on your body

as if you're eating human fat and it's filling in your skin or something

If only theyd put the percentages of sugar on the nutritional facts

But thatd be cwazy

Wait, I just read that the FDA says we can have 50g/day. Thats just outlandish. No wonder people think its not that bad. Thats literally saying its okay to drink a coke every day.

Morning bump.

Heres one that really gets me:

People putting sugar into coffee and tea. Enjoy it for what it is. Sugar releases dopamine, so people just eat it for relaxation.
