List of Sugar Names & Sugar Facts
This long list of sugar names also includes the sugar facts that can help you uncover the many hidden sugars that are tucked away everywhere in our foods today.
Food and beverage manufacturers in cahoots with the sugar industry consistently look for new sugar names to add to their long sugar list. Why do they go to such sneaky lengths to hide more and more high glycemic sugars in commercial foods? Because sugar is addictive!
And once they've got us hooked as sugar addicts, we constantly crave more and more sweets for our sugar-fix. Even though we know it's bad for us, sugar addiction is very difficult to control.
