(HealthDayNews) -- Lots of people have a reason to avoid sugars -- for the simple fear of gaining weight or because sweets could be deadly among those who have diabetes.
Unfortunately, to the untrained eye, it may be difficult to spot different types of sugar on food ingredient labels,
the U.S. Department of Agriculture warns.
A food is likely to contain significant amounts of sugar if its ingredient list shows one or more of these: sucrose, honey, syrup, corn sweetener, glucose, dextrose, high-fructose corn syrup, fructose, molasses, maltose, fruit juice concentrate or lactose.
