Sugar in Food

It’s the latest thing to worry about, I prefer to think of ‘being aware about’ – sugar in food. the old culprit (saturated fat) is being supplemented by sugar and salt in foods. I’m at work with (for convenience) a can of Heinz tomato soup, and have just googled that it contains four teaspoons of sugar. I really don’t want to consume four teaspoons of sugar! At least I know now, so I think public health awareness, although wearysome, has a place in this world. Problem is, taking on the might of the food manufacturers doesn’t tie in well with vested interests.

We’ve all got to die sometime, there’s no point in worrying about it, but you can do something when empowered with knowledge. The rise in diabetes (a horrible disease) is prompting me to have a look at some of my eating habits.

‘Food for thought?’
