Lesson Overview

20.3 – Identifying Hidden Sugars: Many products look healthy on the outside but contain surprisingly large amounts of added sugar that can lead to weight gain, energy crashes, and cravings throughout the day. Sugar often hides behind different names such as high-fructose corn syrup, cane juice, maltose, dextrose, or syrups made from fruits or grains, making it harder to spot at first glance. When reading a label, checking both the total sugars and added sugars lines helps you understand exactly what you are taking in and how it may affect your body’s balance and focus. Foods marketed for “fitness” or “energy” can sometimes pack more sugar than candy, especially flavored drinks, granola bars, and yogurts. Learning how to scan the ingredient list quickly lets you choose options that keep your blood sugar steady, preventing the sudden crashes that leave you tired and hungry again. Each time you avoid hidden sugars, you support better mood, brain function, and self-control over snacking choices. This awareness doesn’t mean you must give up sweetness; it means you are choosing when and how much instead of being tricked by the packaging.
