Names of Sugar

For my OA and OA HOW participants, or people who just choose to avoid sugar and see the "sneaky wording" that can be used which means sugar.


If you are physically sensitive, ANY carbohydrate in a large enough amount can trigger your physical sensitivity. Sugars are carbohydrates that have been refined or concentrated in varying degrees. Sugars vary widely in their physical properties and in their ability to create difficulties for you. Avoid all products in which any sugar is listed earlier than the fifth ingredient. Be aware that if more than one sugar is listed, even below the fifth ingredient, the product may contain a significant amount of sugar. Listen carefully to your own body as individual tolerances may vary. Talk about the questionable foods with people you trust and with your nutritionist, physician or other professional.

The following is a list of all the different names for sugar. Read all labels on the food you eat carefully; sugar is hidden in the most unexpected places.

Note: Corn starch, wheat starch and modified food starch are not sugars but are such highly refined flours that the body frequently reacts as though they were sugars. Avoid products in which they are list before the fifth ingredient.
