Snack Label’s Sweet Sugary Truth
Understanding Nutrition Labels
Educating yourself about nutrition labels can be a game-changer in the quest for low-sugar snacking. Watch out for hidden sugars listed as glucose, fructose, or anything ending in ‘ose’.
The Role of Sugar Alcohols
Sugar alcohols are a common alternative to traditional sugars. While they tend to have fewer calories and less impact on blood sugar, they can still contribute to a high-sugar diet if consumed in large quantities.
Balancing Act: Sugar Intake and Satiety
Focusing on snacks that have a balance of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, alongside low sugar content, ensures that you feel fuller for longer and are less likely to succumb to overeating or making poor nutritional choices.
