「各位最喜歡的『甜味罐裝咖啡』其實是比一般咖啡還要更為劇烈的毒物。」
「其實一瓶罐裝咖啡就含有相當於四・五個方糖的糖分。」
「若長期習慣性攝取咖啡,會導致成癮依賴症。從醫學角度來看,咖啡與香菸確實與毒品無異。」

1,醋辣醬。正宗的傳統香醋來自意大利,需要12年或更長的時間來歲,並經歷了嚴格的測試才進入市場。商業香醋不接受這種艱苦的過程。相反,製造商通常從白葡萄酒醋使它和添加焦糖色素(用於彩色和添加甜味)以及增稠劑等的玉米澱粉和樹膠,其中斜坡上升的熱量和糖。你為了下一次沙拉,跳過香醋和小雨橄欖油和醋。 

2,乾果。你不會倒的M&M的或吃喝玩樂到你的沙拉,而且這幾乎是你做什麼,當你添加葡萄乾,紅棗,蔓越莓幹,和“拔絲”的水果。據海洋噴霧的網站,四分之一杯Craisins(蔓越莓幹)包含29克,漲幅近6茶匙,糖。你為什麼要這樣對待一個完全無辜的沙拉? 

3,冰沙。巧妙地定位為一個快速,健康的早餐選擇,大多數商業冰沙無非是成人的水果奶昔。一個16盎司(其最小尺寸)然巴果汁香蕉莓果冰沙進行了高達12茶匙的糖。雖然包令人印象深刻的蛋白質16克的,16盎司星巴克橙色芒果冰沙也好不到哪裡去的37克糖。 

4,肉醬汁。餐館喜歡在糖漿調味料掩蓋健健康康的魚,雞,牛肉,有時會掩蓋劣質肉。可謂釉面最有可能的任何菜含有糖。即使他們不甜,在中國和泰國菜餚那些神秘的褐色醬料包玉米澱粉(其轉化為糖)和其他可疑的成分。想要肉烤,烤,或煮是非常具體的。否則,你可能有你的晚餐,甜點時,您的主菜到來。 

5,蛋白棒。如果“焦糖堅果闖天關”聽起來像一個直板,你已經不遠了。我在“健康”的平衡的蛋白質條數至少有四種類型的糖。加入少許纖維和一些營養物質不會突然使蛋白質酒吧健康;它只是轉換了直板到一個過高的營養豐富的糖果酒吧。 

6,杏仁醬。像他們的堅果的人巴結甜,這也解釋了為什麼大多數的花生醬都裝糖。杏仁醬也可含有添加糖,而這裡是一個很好的例子,如何在完全健康的食品可以成為拙劣,當你不看標籤。馬拉納瑟沒有轟動杏仁奶油含有有機蒸發甘蔗糖作為其第二個成分,而它們的有機原料杏仁奶油包含100%的有機原料杏仁,別無其他。 

7,酸奶。你並不孤單,如果你成為不堪重負的廣大酸奶陣列在你的購物乳品過道。其中有些人,特別是水果在最底層的酸奶,能有盡可能多的糖的糖果酒吧。發哥總計0%的蜂蜜一小容器包裝29克糖。是啊,這是蜂蜜,但你的身體休息下來,就像餐桌糖。如果你不是奶製品不耐受,堅持使用全脂加糖的希臘酸奶和讀取這些標籤:應該不含添加糖。 

8,瓶裝茶。綠茶當之無愧地贏得健康的光環,但用糖裝下來像一些廠家做快速降級的光環。 16.9盎司瓶裝誠信品牌蜂蜜綠茶中含有的有機蔗糖作為其第二個成分。開關,而不是不加糖的綠茶品種,並添加自己的健康甜味劑。更妙的是,釀造自己。 

9,小麥麵包。長定位為健康的替代品,大多數商業小麥麵包過來剝離纖維和加載有相同添加糖,防腐劑,和白麵包等垃圾。 “兩片全麥麵包,現在提高你的血糖食糖超過兩湯匙,寫道:”馬克·海曼博士。 “有全麥和白麵粉在這裡沒有什麼區別,最大的騙局犯下在不知情的市民納入”五穀雜糧“在很多加工食品全糖,小麥,給食物一個良性的光暈。”相反,小麥麵包和包裝,選擇無麩質米包裹或椰子套。 

10,綠色果汁。你不會坐下來,吃四片水果,但果汁可以很容易收拾,如果沒有纖維的糖來緩衝一下。因為他們是低血糖,蔬菜汁,至少聽起來更好,但瓶裝果汁有時會成為誤導。赤裸裸的綠色機器,這聽起來像一個蔬菜汁,承諾“不加糖”。然而,儘管它的名字,這種飲料主要是水果和整個15.2盎司一瓶含糖接近12茶匙。 

如果你像我一樣,你對這些偷偷摸摸的糖和其他看似健康的食品感到震驚。什麼人的食物或飲料,你曾經認為健康的,但現在知道了,否則?下面分享你的看法。 


Years ago, I had a client who ate pristinely, removed food intolerances from her diet, combined weight resistance with burst training, got eight hours of sleep every night, and controlled her stress levels.

Despite that persistent effort, the scales wouldn't budge, and I remained baffled.

Until one morning, that is, when I ran into her on my way to the gym holding a venti Starbucks. "Coffee or tea?" I asked.
Turns out, she was drinking a non-fat Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte. Since this was pre-iPhone, during my next visit to Starbucks I picked up a nutrition guide. Turns out that "skinny" drink contained a whopping five teaspoons of sugar. Bam. I found the culprit.
Unlike my client, perhaps you're aware coffee drinks can become sugar bombs, but even the most health-conscious among us struggle to know everywhere sugar hides and how to avoid those things. It can feel incredibly daunting.
Sneaky sugars hide in places you'd never suspect, including whole foods, diet foods, packaged fruit, drinks, and dressings. Stevia in the Raw packets, which sound perfectly healthy, contain dextrose (sugar) as its first ingredient. A little misleading, eh?
The first step to curbing sugar consumption involves learning its many names. My friend Jonathan Bailor conveniently compiled 57 (!) of them in this HuffPost blog.
Once you have that list, you'll want to diligently inspect labels. Never mind whether it says "no sugar added" or any other nutrition claims. You've got to actually read ingredients to know for sure.
Even I became shocked to learn about seemingly innocuous foods that contain added sugars. How many of these 10 offenders would you have guessed?
1. Balsamic vinaigrette. Authentic, traditional balsamic vinegar comes from Italy, requires 12 years or longer to age, and undergoes rigorous testing before it goes to market. Commercial balsamic vinegar doesn't undergo this painstaking process. Instead, manufacturers usually make it from white wine vinegar and add caramel coloring (for color and added sweetness) as well as thickeners like cornstarch and gum, which ramp up the calories and sugar. Next time you order a salad, skip the balsamic and drizzle olive oil and vinegar.
2. Dried fruit. You wouldn't pour M&M's or Skittles onto your salad, but that's pretty much what you do when you add raisins, dates, dried cranberries, and "candied" fruit. According to Ocean Spray's website, a quarter-cup of Craisins (dried cranberries) contains 29 grams, or nearly six teaspoons, of sugar. Why would you do that to a perfectly innocent salad?
3. Smoothies. Craftily positioned as a fast, healthy breakfast alternative, most commercial smoothies are nothing more than adult fruity milkshakes. A 16-ounce (their smallest size) Jamba Juice Banana Berry Smoothie carries a whopping 12 teaspoons of sugar. While it packs an impressive 16 grams of protein, a 16-ounceStarbucks Orange Mango Smoothie isn't much better with 37 grams of sugar.
4. Meat sauces. Restaurants love to drown perfectly healthy fish, chicken, and beef in syrupy sauces, sometimes to disguise inferior meats. Any dish described as glazed most likely contains sugar. Even if they're not sweet, those mysterious brown sauces in Chinese and Thai dishes pack cornstarch (which converts to sugar) and other dubious ingredients. Be very specific that you want meat grilled, baked, or broiled. Otherwise, you might have your dinner with dessert when your entrée arrives.
5. Protein bars. If "Caramel Nut Blast" sounds like a candy bar, you're not far off. I counted at least four types of sugar in this "healthy" Balance protein bar. Adding a little fiber and some nutrients doesn't suddenly make a protein bar healthy; it simply transforms a candy bar into an overpriced nutrient-enriched candy bar.
6. Almond butter. People like their nut butters sweet, which explains why most peanut butters come loaded with sugar. Almond butters can also contain added sugar, and here's a great example how a perfectly healthy food can become botched when you don't read labels. MaraNatha no-stir almond butter contains organic evaporated cane sugar as its second ingredient, whereas their organic raw almond butter contains 100 percent raw organic almonds and nothing else.
7. Yogurt. You're not alone if you become overwhelmed with the vast yogurt array at your grocery dairy aisle. Some of them, especially fruit-on-the-bottom yogurts, could have as much sugar as a candy bar. One tiny container of Fage Total 0 percent Honey packs 29 grams of sugar. Yeah, it's honey, but your body breaks it down just like table sugar. If you're not dairy-intolerant, stick with full-fat unsweetened Greek yogurt and read those labels: It should contain no added sugar.
8. Bottled teas. Green tea deservedly earns a health halo, but loading it down with sugar like some manufacturers do quickly demotes that aura. A 16.9 ounce bottle of Honest brand Honey Green Tea contains organic cane sugar as its second ingredient. Switch instead to unsweetened green-tea varieties and add your own healthy sweetener. Better yet, brew your own.
9. Wheat bread. Long positioned as a healthier alternative, most commercial wheat breads come stripped of fiber and loaded with the same added sugar, preservatives, and other junk as white bread. "Two slices of whole wheat bread now raise your blood sugar more than two tablespoons of table sugar," writes Dr. Mark Hyman. "There is no difference between whole wheat and white flour here. The biggest scam perpetrated on the unsuspecting public is the inclusion of 'whole grains' in many processed foods full of sugar and wheat, giving the food a virtuous glow." Instead of wheat bread and wraps, opt for gluten-free rice wraps or coconut wraps.
10. Green juices. You wouldn't sit down and eat four pieces of fruit, but a juice can easily pack that much sugar without fiber to buffer it out. Because they're lower in sugar, vegetable juices at least sound better, yet bottled juices sometimes become misleading. Naked Green Machine, which sounds like a vegetable juice, promises "no sugar added." Yet despite its name, this drink is mostly fruit, and an entire 15.2 ounce bottle contains almost 12 teaspoons of sugar.
If you're like me, you're shocked about sneaky sugars in these and other seemingly healthy foods. What one food or drink did you once consider healthy but now know otherwise? Share your thoughts below.
