The 56 name for sugar hidden from the people
How many of these names do you know?
If your answer is little, and I do not know any name other than the word (sugar).
Learn with me how to recognize 56 different names for sugar
Unfortunately, sugar isn't always conveniently categorized as "sugar" in the ingredient list. The food industry has discovered new ways to hide the amount of added sugar in its products by masking it with different names.
Sugar
is the master of disguise: just because you don't see the word "sugar"
in the ingredient list when reading the nutrition label does not require
the ingredient to be sugar-free or unsweetened. Sugar
is known by a large number of different names, which makes it easier
for manufacturers to hide how much sugar is in a specific product.
The
best way to ensure that you do not consume excessive amounts of added
sugars is to always get used to reading the ingredient list on the
package before purchasing. Keep
in mind that the ingredients are listed in order from high to low: the
closer the sugar is to the top of the list, the more contained the
product.
The best way to reduce added sugar is to simply reduce your intake of processed foods.
Fermentation
is a method of processing starchy grains like wheat and barley and
converting them into sugar, so the "barley extract" will be mostly
sugar. Sugar is mostly
extracted from plants by squeezing it, then drying the purified juice,
so “evaporated cane juice crystals” or “concentrated grape juice” are
very similar to pure sugars
In general, chemical names ending in -ose refer to polysaccharides. The word "syrup" refers to a sugar solution.

Food manufacturers are nothing if they are not creative. Food packaging rules require in
So food makers are starting to diversify. Instead of adding 100 grams of cane sugar to food, they might add 10 grams of 10 different sugars. Keeping weights low keeps ingredients low on the label. Creating 56 sugar names confuses consumers and reduces the chances of them being identified.
* Note:
If you discover any of these names listed on a label, keep in mind that it is not automatically blocked. What matters is the amount of sugar! If your total carb count is 1 to 2 grams, it is okay to eat it if you are following a low-carb lifestyle. For example, many keto-friendly salad dressings include a pinch of sugar containing 1-2 grams of total carbohydrates.
