The sugar industry has one goal. That goal is to sell more sugar. It is also the goal of the companies that make sugar-sweetened products.
As we all know, eating too much sugar can cause a person to get fatter, so you should try to eat less sugar. In order to eat less sugar, you should know about the following tips.
First, sugar is almost everywhere in the modern diet. It is in sandwich, chicken stock, pickles, salad dressing, crackers, and yogurt. And of course, it is in drinks and foods, like soda and desserts.
Second, you do not need to worry about the sugars that are a natural part of fruit, vegetables, and dairy products. Most people do not overeat natural sugars. The fiber, vitamins, and minerals that surround natural sugars fill you up.
Third, come up with a few simple rules and habits that become second nature. One idea is to drop (停止) all added sugars for one month. Then add (添加) back only the ones you miss. It is easier than it sounds.
Fourth, don’t drink too much juice. Real juice does not have added sweeteners (甜味剂). Rather, it has natural sugars. Drinking too much juice can be dangerous because even natural sugars can be too much. You are not eating the fiber of a single orange when you drink a glass of orange juice. Keep your juice portions (量) to no more than six ounces (盎司). Have only one glass per day.
