If itâs a liquid, donât touch it if it contains any sugar at all. Always avoid low-fat options and anything advertised as âlight/liteâ (manufacturers will have taken out the fat but added sugar to improve the taste). When buying fruit, go for higher-fibre, lower-sugar ones: berries and kiwis are better than bananas, grapes and pineapples.
Sugar 101. Naturally occurring sugars and added sugars. There are two types of sugars in American diets: naturally occurring sugars and added sugars. Naturally occurring sugars are found naturally in foods such as fruit (fructose) and milk (lactose). Added sugars include any sugars or caloric sweeteners that are added to foods or beverages during processing or preparation (such as putting sugar in your coffee or adding sugar to your cereal).
