Force food companies to label ALL types of sugar on all packaging as SUGAR
Regardless of how they sound, the following are all sugar:
Cane juice, Dehydrated cane juice, Cane juice solids, Cane juice crystals, Dextrin, Maltodextrin, Dextran, Barley malt, Beet sugar, Corn syrup, Carob syrup, Brown sugar, Date sugar, Malt syrup, Fruit juice, Fruit juice concentrate.
One of the most common tricks is to distribute sugars among many ingredients so that sugars don‘t appear in the top three. For example, a manufacturer may use a combination of sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, corn syrup solids, brown sugar, dextrose and other sugar ingredients to make sure none of them are present in large enough quantities to attain a top position on the ingredients list (remember, the ingredients are listed in order of their proportion in the food, common ingredients first !
