Too Much Sugar
May 14 2014
Much has been written lately about the amount of sugar North Americans consume and the effects it has on our health. Recent studies have found that obesity and diabetes can be directly linked to a diet high in sugar.
The easiest way to avoid sugar is to cook homemade meals using healthy, unprocessed and natural ingredients. Many processed foods contains large amounts of sugar often hidden on the nutrition labels as forms of glucose. Essentially, if the name ends in “ose” it’s a sugar.
You might be surprised to find out that a ½ cup of fruit juice, which is a recommended daily intake amount in lieu of fresh fruit, in fact contains more sugar than the average soft drink! The best source of a portion of fruit is fruit itself.
At MealEasy, we know the importance of reducing your sugar intake. This is why you can easily filter out any recipe that contains any added sugar. It’s also why we stress using real natural ingredients without added sugars. It’s just another way MealEasy looks out for your health.
