Spotting Hidden Sugars

Yesterday we talked about cutting sugar from your cuppa, today it’s all about those hidden sugars that sneak into everyday foods 🍽️

Even foods that seem healthy can be surprisingly sweet. Flavoured yoghurts, cereals, sauces, soups, even some salad dressings are loaded with added sugar, often hiding under names like glucose syrup, maltose or dextrose.

🕵️‍♀️ Tip: When reading labels, look for words ending in “-ose”, that’s your clue it’s a type of sugar. And if sugar is one of the first three ingredients listed, chances are it’s a major player in that product.

Reducing hidden sugars isn’t about cutting out everything you love, it’s about being aware of where they lurk and making small swaps, like changing from flavoured yoghurt to plain yoghurt with fruit, or a jar of pasta sauce to homemade sauce.

Your body (and your energy levels) will thank you! 💪
