What foods have the highest sugar content: the list will surprise you

Our biggest enemy in food is sugar. And if you don't eat it in its purest form, it doesn't mean that you've completely given up on it. The reason is that sugar is found in a wide variety of your favorite foods and drinks.

Nutritionist Vira (nutritionist_vira_kyrun) told us about the foods that contain the most sugar on Instagram. Such foods are especially dangerous for children.

Sausage (200 g/4 tsp)

Despite the fact that educational institutions include sausages in the diet of schoolchildren, for example, it is impossible to talk about the benefits of these products, especially for children's bodies. In addition to the high fat content, the presence of transgenic soy and monosodium glutamate, sausages contain a large amount of sugar, an average of 20 teaspoons per kilogram of product.

Juice (200 ml/5 tsp)

Packaged juices contain not only a large amount of artificial colors and preservatives but also sugar. Instead of juice in packets, it is better to eat the whole fruit, getting not only vitamins and minerals but also fiber.

Energy drinks (200 ml/6 tsp)

In addition to the shock doses of sugar, there are many complaints about energy drinks. Excessive intake of caffeine from energy drinks can lead to hyperstimulation of the digestive tract, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Caffeine can also cause reflux, heartburn, and esophagitis.

Yogurt (200 g/4 tsp)

This is another category of foods that we consider dietary. A handful of corn flakes topped with drinking yogurt: isn't that your usual breakfast? This breakfast is not only able to cover the daily sugar intake but is also detrimental to the entire hormonal system due to the sudden release of insulin. As much as 8 teaspoons per half-liter bottle of yogurt is a very high figure for a healthy and dietary diet.
