Hidden sugar

1 Most of us know that too much sugar isn’t good for us. But how much do we really know about the other kinds of food we eat?

2 Australian moviemaker Damon Gameau investigated “hidden” sugar in food. He spent 60 days eating only products advertised as “healthy,” like low-fat yogurt, cereal bars, fruit juices, and sports drinks.

3 Instead of feeling healthier, Damon gained weight and had health problems because manufacturers add sugar to many products to make them taste better.

4 The World Health Organization recommends a daily limit of 25 g (about six teaspoons). Some “healthy” products can contain a lot of added sugar.

5 After the experiment, Damon returned to a diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, and fish. He still eats a little chocolate sometimes, but many processed foods now taste too sweet to him.

6 Next time you shop, check how much sugar is in a “healthy” cereal before you buy it.
