Look at any packaged food's nutritional information at the sugar listing. It will show the sugar in the product such as 12g. Then look where the % daily allowance column is for every other item and notice there is nothing there for sugar. The sugar industry has a huge lobby and they don't want you to know that you are getting %150 or %200 of your daily recommended amount of sugar in one single snack.harrycallahan wrote:Sugar!
All of the federal agencies are bought and paid for by the food industry. The message they want the .gov to tell you is that you are fat because you don't exercise enough. They don't want you to focus on what you eat or taking control of your diet.
The fact is there is no way to exercise your way out of eating too much sugar. A very had (20mph) bike ride might burn 600 calories. If you drink a sports drink and an energy bar, you're replaced that and you'll still reward yourself with more food because you worked out. You can't do that.
Eating less, especially less sugar dense foods, is how you lose weight.
Exercising more is how you get stronger and healthier.
