Low-Fat Yogurt
低脂酸奶
You know what tastes good? Fat. So when a brand's recipe developers remove it from yogurt, they've got to supplement the flavor somehow. They usually turn to sugar to do so, which explains why a serving of low-fat yogurt could have close to 30 grams of sugar.
你知道什么东西好吃吗?答案是:脂肪。所以当配料开发者不在酸奶中加入脂肪时,他们肯定会用其它东西增添口感。通常,他们会使用糖代替脂肪,所以一份低脂酸奶才会含有近30克糖分。
Balsamic Vinegar
香醋
Italian nonnas would scoff at the American process of making this stuff. Companies often start with white wine vinegar and add caramel coloring for both color and sweetness. On top of that, cornstarch and xanthan gum are often included to thicken the liquid, but both of them up the sugar content.
意大利的奶奶们肯定会嘲笑美国制作香醋的过程。香醋生产公司往往先从白葡萄酒醋开始,然后加入焦糖色素,使其更好看、更甜。除此之外,还会使用玉米淀粉和黄原胶使香醋变稠,而这两种成分都会增加糖的含量。
Breakfast Cereal
早餐燕麦
Sweet-sounding brands, like Fruit Loops and Cocoa Pebbles, aren't even the worst offenders. One cup of Raisin Bran packs 18 grams of sugar. It's in the dried fruit but also hiding in every flake, with the addition of corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, and invert sugar. The latter helps products avoid crystallization.
悦耳的燕麦品牌并非最糟糕的,比如Fruit Loops和Cocoa Pebbles。一杯葡萄干麦片(Raisin Bran)含有18克糖。除了玉米糖浆、高果糖玉米糖浆和转化糖之外,每颗葡萄干和每片麦片都含有糖。转化糖可防止燕麦结晶。
Barbecue Sauce
烧烤酱
Much as we'd love to believe, the sweetness in this sauce isn't just from the tomatoes it's made with. In addition to regular ol' sugar, bottlers often sneak in molasses and corn syrup. Sweet Baby Ray's included pineapple juice concentrate too, making it contain 14 grams of sugar in just two tablespoons.
虽然我们很愿意相信,但烧烤酱中的甜味并非是由番茄制成的。除了普通蔗糖,瓶装酱通常还含有糖蜜和玉米糖浆。Sweet Baby Ray牌还含有浓缩菠萝汁,两汤匙的烧烤酱就含有14克糖。
Canned Fruit
罐装水果
You know that fruit in its natural state can contain a lot of sugar. You should limit your intake, and avoid anything canned. The shelf-stable options are almost always kept in a syrup that's loaded with added sugars, like high fructose corn syrup and artificial coloring.
你知道的,水果本身就含有很多糖。你应该控制摄入量,并避免吃任何罐装水果。放在货架上的罐装水果通常都是放在糖浆中的,含有高果糖玉米糖浆等添加糖和人造色素。
Whole Grain Bread
全麦面包
Buying this instead of white slices isn't necessarily any better. Many loaves come sweetened with honey, but others are doctored to taste better and can include high fructose corn syrup, GMO sugars (like ones made from sugar beets), or sucralose.
全麦面包不一定比白面包好。很多面包都添加了蜂蜜,但为了口感更好,其它全麦面包则添加了高果糖玉米糖浆、转基因糖(比如由甜菜制成的糖)或者三氯蔗糖。
Peanut Butter
花生酱
This'll give you pause next time you take a dip in a jar: Many leading brands are packed with sugary sweeteners. Sometimes it's white sugar, and sometimes it's in the form of cane syrup or coconut palm sugar.
下次蘸花生酱时,再好好想想吧。很多主流品牌都含有含糖甜味剂。有时候是白糖,有时候是甘蔗糖浆或椰子糖。
